## Abstract Chitosan and chitosanβamino acid derivatives were explored to engineer poly(D,Lβlactic acid) (PDLβLA) as an extracellular matrixβlike surface to promote cell adhesion and growth. Four kinds of chitosanβamino acid derivatives were prepared to mimic the carbohydrate moieties of cell matri
## Abstract Chitosan is a good biodegradable natural polymer, widely used in biomedical fields. In this study, chitosan was used to modify the surface of poly (D,Lβlactic acid) (PDLLA) in order to enhance its cell affinity. The properties of a modified PDLLA surface and control were investigated by
## Abstract We have studied the influence of oxygen radio frequency glow discharge (RfGD) on the surface and bulk properties of poly(D,Lβlactic acid) (PDLLA) and the effect of this surface modification on both protein adsorption and bone cell behavior. PDLLA films were characterized before and afte
