Abstract
Microcapsules made out of ionically crosslinked membranes of alginate and Poly(l-lysine) (PLL) have been extensively used for the encapsulation of animal tissue in immunoprotective membrane microspheres. However, biocompativility remain a stumbling block in the long term survival of these grafts. Membranes with enhanced biocompatiblity have been made by using a novel graft copolymer of PLL and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) instead of the PLL homopolymer.
