“…It is known that for hydrophobic materials (i. a. PCL) surface roughness enhances the hydrophobicity [39,40]. On the other hand, the water droplet can be spread easier on the more porous surface of membrane, which results in higher hydrophilicity [41].…”

“…Surface roughness plays a vital role for positive cell-material interactions. Some cells, especially fibroblast cells, enjoys rough surfaces and were homogeneously distributed on these surfaces and well spread by elongating themselves [41]. Cellular interaction on a material is an important parameter to determine the biocompatibility or cytotoxicity.…”

“…Several articles reported contradictory results about the effects of material topography, hydrophobicity and wettability on cell behaviour [19]. Some correlations between the wettability and cell behavior have been reported showing that cells prefer to attach on hydrophilic surfaces.…”
