Protein adsorption and cytocompatibility of poly(L‐lactic acid) surfaces modified with biomacromolecules

Surface modification of biomaterials has been adopted over the years in order to improve their biocompatibility. In this study, heparin, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate were used to modify the surface of poly( L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) films by an entrapment method to promote its biocompatibility and to introduce natural recognition sites to the surface of PLLA films. The surface properties of PLLA films before and after modification were...
