## Abstract Single polypropylene microfibers plasma‐coated with polymers of different surface charge [N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (NN) (positive charge), methacrylic acid (MA) (negative charge), and hexafluoropropylene (HF) (neutral)] were implanted in the subcutaneous dorsum of Sprague‐Daw
