Polyoxazolines are class of polymers which are suitable for medical applications because they have many interesting properties. These polymers are characterized by antibacterial properties so they can stop bacterial colonization of medical devices and significantly reduce the risk of infection. Furthermore, polyoxazolines are interesting for good biocompatibility. Basic topic of this diploma work is preparation of oxazoline-based thin films by plasma polymerization. Thin films were prepared by plasma polymerization from 2-methyl-2-oxazoline vapors in a nitrogen atmosphere in a dielectric barrier discharge. During the deposition was increased the substrate temperature. Polyoxazoline films were analyzed by several diagnostic methods. Physical and chemical properties of thin films were studied by SEM, AFM, FTIR by measuring contact angles and nanoindentation method. The films were found to be homogeneous, hydrophilic and have a higher nitrogen content. Furthermore, films showed viscoelastic properties. Polyoxazoline films were subjected to antibacterial and biocompatibility tests and the result showed, that films have antibacterial properties and support of viability cells viability.
