“…GMA brush on the poly(styrene-divinyl benzene) polymer was modified with hydrazine to attach specifically the enzyme Invertase [35]. The attachment of the functional groups on the biomaterials; i) determines its chemical functionality, ii) its electrostatic interaction with the target biological molecules, and iii) its surface energy [35][36][37]. Thus, polymer modification techniques have become a new and general way to functionalize polymers, and their potential applications in the fields of biomedical materials design [38][39][40].…”

Keywords: Hydrogels biocompatible polymers contact angle blood cell adhesion hemolysis rat mesenchymal stem cells Copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) in the presence of α-α′-azoisobisbutyronitrile (AIBN) resulted in the formation of hydrogel films carrying reactive epoxy groups. Thirteen kinds of different molecules with pendant \NH 2 group were used for modifications of the p(HEMA-GMA) films. The \NH 2 group served as anchor binding site for immobilization of functional groups on the hydrogel film via direct epoxy ring opening reaction. The modified hydrogel films were characterized by FTIR, and contact angle studies. In addition, mechanical properties of the hydrogel films were studied, and modified hydrogel films showed improved mechanical properties compared with the non-modified film, but they are less elastic than the non-modified film. The biological activities of these films such as platelet adhesion, red blood cells hemolysis, and swelling behavior were studied. The effect of modified hydrogel films, including \NH 2 , (using different aliphatic \CH 2 chain lengths) \CH 3 , \SO 3 H, aromatic groups with substituted \OH and \COOH groups, and amino acids were also investigated on the adhesion, morphology and survival of rat mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The MTT colorimetric assay reveals that the p(HEMA-GMA)-GA-AB, p(HEMA-GMA)-GA-Phe, p(HEMA-GMA)-GA-Trp, p(HEMA-GMA)-GA-Glu formulations have an excellent biocompatibility to promote the cell adhesion and growth. We anticipate that the fabricated p(HEMA-GMA) based hydrogel films with controllable surface chemistry and good stable swelling ratio may find extensive applications in future development of tissue engineering scaffold materials, and in various biotechnological areas.

“…Gas foaming has been commonly employed to produce microcellular foams of thermoplastic polymers [113][114][115][116] such as polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene, but only in 1994 Mooney et al applied this method for the production of PLA 50 GA 50 scaffolds for TE [117]. Since then gas foaming has become an appealing technique for fabricating microporous scaffolds [118,119].…”

and some lactide copolymers) and of non-commercial polyesters (i.e. poly-ω-pentadecalactone and some of its copolymers) were explored and discussed.Two techniques were employed to fabricate scaffolds: supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) foaming and electrospinning (ES). The former is a powerful technology that enables to produce 3D microporous foams by avoiding the use of solvents that can be toxic to mammalian cells. The scCO 2 process, which is II commonly applied to amorphous polymers, was successfully modified to foam a highly crystalline poly(ω-pentadecalactone-co-ε-caprolactone) copolymer and the effect of process parameters on scaffold morphology and thermo-mechanical properties was investigated.In the course of the present research activity, sub-micrometric fibrous nonwoven meshes were produced using ES technology. Electrospun materials are considered highly promising scaffolds because they resemble the 3D organization of native extra cellular matrix. A careful control of process parameters allowed to fabricate defect-free fibres with diameters ranging from hundreds of nanometers to several microns, having either smooth or porous surface. Moreover, versatility of ES technology enabled to produce electrospun scaffolds from different polyesters as well as "composite" non-woven meshes by concomitantly electrospinning different fibres in terms of both fibre morphology and polymer material. The 3D-architecture of the electrospun scaffolds fabricated in this research was controlled in terms of mutual fibre orientation by properly modifying the instrumental apparatus. This aspect is particularly interesting since the micro/nano-architecture of the scaffold is known to affect cell behaviour.Since last generation scaffolds are expected to induce specific cell response, the present research activity also explored the possibility to produce electrospun scaffolds bioactive towards cells. Bio-functionalized substrates were obtained by loading polymer fibres with growth factors (i.e. biomolecules that elicit specific cell behaviour) and it was demonstrated that, despite the high voltages applied during electrospinning, the growth factor retains its biological activity once
