  • Abstract
    We report here an in-depth study of the permeability of ultrathin parylene-C (0.15∓0.80 μm thick) by measuring the diffusion coefficients of FITC-dextran molecules with different molecular weights (MW). As a validation, we have successfully demonstrated the application of the ultrathin semipermeable membranes in perfusion cancer cell culture. The results show that, with a combined biocompatibility and good permeability, ultrathin parylene-C can be a promising semipermeable membrane material for biomedical applications.
