This paper presents the results of a preliminary screening of a new class of bioerodable polymers, partial esters of alternating copolymers of maleic anhydride and monomethoxyoligoethyleneglycol vinyl ethers (PAM) for use in engineered vascular tissue. Different initial concentrations of PAM and human serum albumin (HSA) were spin-coated onto glass substrates and the surface properties of the resulting films and their relationship to endothelial cell adhesion was examined. An optimum PAM/HSA blend for use as the cell contact surface of a bioerodable scaffold was identified. © 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of a preliminary screening of a new class of bioerodable polymers, partial esters of alternating copolymers of maleic anhydride and monomethoxyoligoethyleneglycol vinyl ethers (PAM) for use in engineered vascular tissue. Different initial concentrations of PAM and human serum albumin (HSA) were spin-coated onto glass substrates and the surface properties of the resulting films and their relationship to endothelial cell adhesion was examined. An optimum PAM/HSA blend for use as the cell contact surface of a bioerodable scaffold was identified. © 2001 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
