Bioabsorbable polymers are increasingly being used in tissue engineering strategies. Despite the knowledge that some sterilization techniques may affect the physical properties of these polymers, this aspect is often overlooked. We speculate that the type of sterilization method used may influence cellular responses by altering the surface characteristics. We cultured adipose stem cells on bioabsorbable poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) sheets, sterilized using either ethylene oxide (EO), argon glow discharge (aGD) or electron beam (e-beam). Significantly higher values for surface roughness in the order EO > aGD > e-beam and significant differences in contact angles (EO > e-beam > aGD) and surface energies (aGD > e-beam ...
