Abstract

The application of the layer-by-layer (LBL) technique to biodegradable substrate materials for use in biomaterials and tissue engineering using poly(amino acids) was discussed. The LBL coatings were shown to significantly enhance initial chondrocyte attachment on both virgin poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) and PDLLA-OH substrates. The technique was demonstrated to be suitable for porous substrates and was particularly useful for scaffold materials. The study show that LBL coatings of poly(amino acids) can be assembled on the surface of biodegradable polymers in a simple procedure.
