The aim of the present paper is to study the compatibility and biocompatibility of new polyester urethane with hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) blends by FT-IR spectroscopy, contact angle measurements. It has been established on the basis of the results obtained and specific interactions that the optima compatibility compositions which assure the good properties of biomaterials is 60% HPC–20% HPC/40% PU–80% PU. The biocompatibility and cytotoxicity of novel materials has been also assessed. The biological analysis showed that the new blends present a good biocompatibility, fibroblast cells cultured in the presence of polymers maintaining their normal cellular phenotype. The obtained blends are not cytotoxic and exhibits good surface properties and could be candidates for medical and pharmaceutical applications.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
