Various condensation polymers including polyamides, polyesters, polyethers, polysulfonamides, polysulfonate, polyphosphonate, polyimide, polyamide-imides, polyimide, polyamide-imides, polyester-amides, etc. have been prepared and evaluated for their biocompatibility by a cell culture method. Cell attachment and cell growth are influenced by the chemical structures of the tested polymers. Aliphatic polyamides exhibited considerably different cell growth behavior than aromatic polyamides.
