Abstract  
The effect of XeCl laser irradiation on biocompatibility of polyethersulfone (PES) film surface was investigated. For this
purpose, the surface of PES film was irradiated with different number of pulses at different fluences. The treated surfaces
were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), scanning electron microscopy
(SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. The platelet adhesion and cell culture measurements were
done on the treated surface for investigation of the biocompatibility. It was shown that, irradiation of surface with 500
pulses at a fluence of 25 mJ/cm2 is the most optimal condition for improving the platelet adhesion on the PES surface with a XeCl laser.
