Evaluation of cell affinity on poly(L-lactide) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) blends and on PLLA-b-PCL diblock copolymer surfaces.

An evaluation of cell proliferation and adhesion on biocompatible film supports was performed. A series of films were compression molded from commercially available poly (L-lactide), PLLA, and poly(epsilon-caprolactone), PCL, and from their melt mixed blends (PLLA/PCL blends). These were compared with compression molded films of PLLA-b-PCL model diblock copolymers.
