Abstract

For the cell-directed association of nanofibrils, polymeric nanofibrils (NFs) were fabricated by fragmentation of electrospun nanofibers and subsequent surface-decoration with poly(methacrylate) derivatives via ATRP. The decorated NFs showed higher degrees of protein sequestration and enhanced cell proliferation with free infiltration of cells, which leads to hydrogel-like behavior.
