Abstract
We report on the modification of the polyelectrolytes poly(L‐glutamic acid) (PGA), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and poly(L‐lysine) (PLL) with side groups bearing phosphorylcholine (PC) groups. Two different side chains were synthesized from monoamino tri‐ or tetraethylene glycol, both with PC group linked to the OH end: the tert‐butyloxycarbonyl protected compounds BOCNH(EO)~n~PC (n = 2, 3) and the succinylated compound SucNH(EO)~3~PC. BOCNH(EO)~n~PC was deprotected and the resulting amine was condensed with PGA or PAA and SucNH(EO)~3~PC was directly coupled to PLL. Degrees of substitution as high as 80% were obtained with the method described. These polyelectrolytes are potential candidates to fabricate multilayers with protein repellent properties.

## Abstract Aliphatic polyesters are believed to be good biocompatible polymers for tissue engineering because of their biodegradability and nontoxicity of the degradated products. However, it is necessary to reduce the nonspecific protein adsorption for the application of biodegradable polymers to
