Abstract

We have explored the application of ion implantation as a tool for the enhancement of neural cell growth on glass surfaces. Glass substrates were ion implanted with gold and with carbon using a metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) ion source-based implantation system at Ege University Surface Modification Laboratory. The implantation dose was varied over the range 1014 – 1017 ions/cm2 and the ion energy spanned the range 20 – 80 keV. B35 neural cells were seeded and incubated on the implanted substrates for 48h at 37°C. After 2-days in culture the cell attachment behavior was characterized using phase contrast microscopy. The adhesion and direct contact of neural cells on these ion implanted glass surfaces were observed
