Summary

Comercial nylon meshes were aminated with plasma in the presence of ammonia gas and then used for culturing of 3T3 cells. The cell densities of 3T3 cells are about the same on these films in spite of their differences of pore size, a higher cell density can be further attained by the inclusion of reconstituted collagen matrices within the pores of nylon mesh. This collagen/nylon composite biomatrix provides a good environment for cell growth.
