Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) surface-grafted ghitosan membranes as a new substrate for cell sheet engineering and manipulation

The immobilization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) on chitosanmembranes was performed in order to render membranes with thermo-responsive surface properties. The aim was to create membranes suitable for cell culture and in which confluent cell sheets can be recovered by simply lowering the...
