We report the synthesis and characterization of a new class of materials based on combining hydrolytically degradable polyesters and fluorocarbon surface chemistry. These materials have surface properties which overcome some of the limitations of polymeric materials in controlled cellular or tissue adhesion properties. Fluorocarbon chains of two lengths (CF3(CF2)m(CH2)n, where F7C1 and F10C2 represent m = 6 and n = 1 and m = 9 and n = 2, respectively) have been synthesized as the terminal end groups to l- and dl-polylactides (PLA) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymers. Using both ring-opening polymerization and the substitution of the fluorocarbon at terminal hydroxyl groups, polyesters with 1, 2, and 4 fluorocarbon end groups were obtained (F-polyesters). Angular dependent X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS or ESCA) revealed that end groups are segregated at the surface. Further, the results show their the surface coverage of fluorocarbon groups increases with increasing the concentration and the ...
