Fibroblastic adhesion behaviour on films of a poly[(2-methoxyethyl vinyl ether) (PMOVE)- block -( l -lactic acid) (PLLA)], in which the surface was covered with PMOVE, was studied. Fibroblasts were sufficiently sensitive to identify crystalline/non-crystalline regions existing beneath the surface PMOVE layer. Fibroblasts can identify crystalline/non-crystalline regions of poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) existing beneath the surface poly(2-methoxyethyl vinyl ether) (PMOVE) layer.
