Abstract
This paper presents the results of a preliminary screening of a new class of bioerodable polymers, partial esters of alternating copolymers of maleic anhydride and mono-methoxyoligoethyleneglycol vinyl ethers (PAM) for use in engineered vascular tissue. Different initial concentrations of PAM and human serum albumin (HSA) were spin-coated onto glass substrates and the surface properties of the resulting films and their relationship to endothelial cell adhesion was examined. An optimum PAM/HSA blend for use as the cell contact surface of a bioerodable scaffold was identified. © 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers
