Abstract

Fibroblastic adhesion behaviour on films of a poly[(2-methoxyethyl vinyl ether) (PMOVE)-block-(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)], in which the surface was covered with PMOVE, was studied. Fibroblasts were sufficiently sensitive to identify crystalline/non-crystalline regions existing beneath the surface PMOVE layer.
