Gradient surfaces whose properties are changed gradually along the sample length are of particular interest for basic studies of the interaction between biological species and surfaces since the effect of a selected property can be examined in a single experiment on one surface. We prepared a wettab

## Abstract Surface wettability is an important physicochemical property of biomaterials, and it would be more helpful for understanding this property if a wide range of wettability are employed. This study focused on the effect of surface wettability on fibroblast adhesion over a wide range of wet
In this study, the adhesive strength of endothelial cells (ECs) attached on polymer surfaces with different hydrophilicity was investigated using wettability gradient polyethylene (PE) surfaces prepared by corona discharge treatment from a knife-type electrode whose power increases gradually along t
In vivo biocompatibility of soft-tissue implants is often hampered by development of capsules that eventually might contract and impair implant function. It has been shown that capsule formation can be significantly reduced by using materials with textured surface elements in the micron range. In th
HA-ceramics used in human surgery as osteoconductive surfaces show a great variety of characteristics. Certain characteristics such as grain size, porosity, and surface area, are controlled by the sintering temperature of the slurry. We grew L-929 fibroblast cells on HA-ceramic disks that had been s
