Recently the authors developed several new techniques for preparing polymer libraries containing continuous gradients in φ, h, and annealing T.2,3 These high-throughput methods
allow optimization of microstructure, chemistry, and cell interactions of tissue engineering biodegradable polymers, at an efficiency not attainable with conventional sample preparation and
analytical methods. In this talk, combinatorial methods are presented for assaying cell adhesion and proliferation as a function of composition, microstructure and topography of polymeric
substrates.
