Abstract
Vinylacetate has been grafted on to the surface of a poly(etherurethane) (pu) filmvia plasma polymerization. After hydrolysis of the acetate groups, the fibronection fragment Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) has been covalently bound to the polymer surface by benzoquinone coupling to provide a cell adhesive surface appropriate for cell seeding.
