With monomer allylamine, amine-containing functional films were prepared in alternative current pulsed dielectric
barrier discharge (DBD) at a high pressure. This paper analyses in detail the film properties and structures, such as
hydrophilicity, compounds and microstructures as well as amine density by the water contact angle, Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and ultraviolet–visible measurement. The influence of discharge param-
eters, in particular applied power, on amine density was investigated. As an application the cell adsorption behaviours
on plasma polymerization films was performed in-vitro. The results show that at a high pressure pulsed DBD plasma
can polymerize films with sufficient amine group on surface, through which the very efficient cell adsorption behaviours
was demonstrated, and the high rate of cell proliferation was visualized.
