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 10 14-1017 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. © 2011 Materials Research Society.EnglishCytologyGlassIon implantationIon sourcesMetal ionsSubstratesVacuum applicationsVaporsCell attachment behaviorsDirect contactGlass substratesGlass surfacesImplantation doseIon implantedMetal vapor vacuum arcsPhase-contrast microscopyCellsConference paper10.1557/opl.2011.1471
