Abstract

The experiments show that PHOU are biocompatible to 3T3 fibroblasts and HBMCs. 3T3 fibroblasts and HBMCs proliferated well on all PHOUs although their surfaces were hydrophobic as shown in Table 1. Biodegradation of the high molecular weight PHOUs is most likely slow so that no weight loss could be measured within 10 days. Further experiments are needed to elucidate the reason for inhomogeneous cell dispersal on PHOU (0/100).
