Membranes have become of great interest for tissue engineering application, since they
offer the advantage of developing neuronal tissue that may be used in implantable or in vitro
hybrid systems for the simulation of brain function. The behaviour of neurons isolated from
the hippocampus on membranes with different surface properties was investigated. The
different membranes used as substrates for cell adhesion consisted of polyester (PE),
modified polyetheretherketone (PEEK-WC), fluorocarbon (FC) and polyethersulfone (PES) …
