“…In vitro tests have demonstrated that PHBHHx has good biocompatibilities for several cells, including fibroblasts [15], chondrocytes [16] and osteoblasts [17]. However, most of the previous studies did not compare cell numbers between PHBHHx and TCPs [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. One study showed that cell growth on PHBHHx film was not as good as that on TCPs [26].…”

“…The longer HHx pendant chain monomer negatively affected crystallization so that PHBHHx had lower crystallinity than PHB [43]. Previous research has demonstrated that the arrangement of the crystalline domain and the amorphous domain could affect the evaporating process of chloroform solvent during film preparation and determine the different polymer sur- face properties, including surface roughness, free energy, chemical states and hydrophilicity, and could subsequently influence protein adsorption, cell attachment and cell number [13,19,26]. Most of the components in PHBVHHx polymer were in amorphous state and did not involve in crystal-lattice formation.…”

“…[8] In order to trigger the cell-matrix adhesion on PHA surfaces several modification techniques have been recently applied including alkaline hydrolysis, lipase treatment and plasma treatment. [9][10][11][12] Some of these treatments were followed by protein immobilization onto the polymeric surface.…”

“…However, recent studies have revealed that cell adhesion does not depend only on the amount of adsorbed proteins but also on the appropriate conformation of adsorbed proteins as scaffolds. 27,28) Arima and Iwata summarized that cells effectively adhere to polymer surfaces presenting moderate wettability with water contact angles of 40-70 . 29) In our present results, there were no significant differences in ODvalues between a-C:H and up to a-C:H:F 60 surfaces with a contact angle of approximately 70…”
