Abstract

In this study, a spray coating technique was used to prepare poly(lactic acid) (PLA) tubes. To improve the flexibility of these devices, an elastomeric polymer, poly(ethylene vinyl acetate) (PEVAc), was added to the PLA. The PLA/PEVAc tubes were further surface modified with elastin and laminin via carbodiimide and glutaraldehyde treatment. This study evaluated the surface graft matrix components (elastin and laminin) on PLA/PEVAc tubes as a method for regenerating biointeractive materials for nerve growth and tissue engineering.
