Acrylic acid (AAc) was grafted onto Nylon (PA66) fabrics through graft polymerization induced by gamma-ray pre-irradiation. Activation of the carboxyl groups in poly AAc (PAAc) induced by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC)/ N-hydroxyscuccinimide (NHS) treatment allowed covalent immobilization of proteins (Matrigel, etc.). The effects of the PAAc-graftred and protein-immobilized fabrics on the adherence and differentiation of mouse neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) were investigated. Matrigel-immobilized PA66 fabric was the best for the growth of NSPCs in the experimental fabrics.
