Figure Lengend Snippet: 3T3 (A) and BPAEC (B) cell growth on various SEBS substrates (N=native, O=ozone treatment, F=fibronectin treatment, FO=ozone/fibronectin treatment), PDMS treated with fibronectin (P), and tissue culture dishes (T) over the course of nine days. Peaks labelled with the same letter do not significantly differ from each other (α = 0.05) on that respective day. Peaks labelled with two letters do not significantly differ from peaks with either of the corresponding letters (i.e. are intermediate) on that respective day. In general, the results show that 3T3 cell growth on SEBS of all treatments is similar to PDMS throughout the experiment and to the control tissue culture dish over longer periods (days 6 and 9). For BPAEC growth, SEBS treated with FN does not differ significantly from the TC dish after day 2 and in most cases, PDMS growth is similar to SEBS. The error bars indicate one standard deviation.

Article Snippet: The four different sets of SEBS substrates were: native SEBS, SEBS treated with ozone for 7 minutes in a UVO Cleaner (Jelight), SEBS with human fibronectin (FN) solution (50 µg/ml, BD Biosciences) adsorbed to the surface for 1 h, and SEBS treated with ozone followed by adsorption of FN.
