Abstract:
A method for promoting cell proliferation on the surface of a polymer, wherein said polymer is water-insoluble, contains carboxylate groups and sulfonate groups, and is produced by free-radical copolymerization of component I, component II and component III, wherein:component I comprises an aliphatically unsaturated monomer containing a carboxylate group or a substituent that is capable of being converted into a carboxylate group, the latter being converted into the carboxylate group after the copolymerization; component II comprises an aliphatically unsaturated monomer containing a sulfonate group or a substituent that is capable of being converted into a sulfonate group, the latter being converted into the sulfonate group after the copolymerization; component III comprises an aliphatically unsaturated monomer.
