Abstract
Homo polymers of acrylamide having glucose (PAAm-glucose) and galactose (PA Am-galactose) as pendent groups were synthesized. Tissue culture polystyren e (TCPS) plates coated with these polymers showed increased surface wettabi lity Coating of PAAm-glucose and PAAm-galactose on to TCPS plates was also confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) characterization. Rat hepatocytes in primary culture attached to the surfaces of PAArn-galactose homopolymer, but not to those of PAAm-glucose homopolymer.
