✦ Synopsis

The role that substrate surface properties play in influencing the extent of endothelialization of polymer surfaces has been investigated. For a wide range of polymer surfaces, the degree of endothelialization for both porcine and bovine endothelial cells is directly related to polymer surface tension: increased endothelialization occurring with increasing substrate surface tension. As a result of adsorption of the proteins in the culture media, the surface properties of the polymers are altered con-siderably. The protein-coated polymers were characterized by means of liquidliquid contact angle measurements under non-denaturing conditions. A striking correlation is observed between the degree of endothelialization and the measured dextran contact angle. The degree of endothelial cell spreading is not related to polymer surface tension. Cell morphology and extracellular matrix production, however, are influenced by substrate surface properties.

## Abstract Thrombotic complications of long‐term blood‐contacting devices can be avoided by formation of an endothelial cell layer on the blood‐contacting surface. The endothelial cells form a bioactive boundary between the synthetic surface and blood, regulating haemostasis and inflammation. Biof
