Abstract
Interaction between polyamide microcapsules having different balances of negative and positive charges on their surface, that is, different isoelectric points and copolymers with different numbers of polyamine macromer of a definite chain length grafted on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) backbone was studied by measuring the amount adhered of the microcapsules onto the surface of copolymer-coated glass beads at different pH values. Maximum microcapsule adhesion was observed for a proper combination of microcapsule and copolymer to suggest that separation of a specified cell population from others on the surface of copolymer-coated glass beads can be explained in terms of preferential adhesion through electrostatic interaction of the specified cells with the copolymer.Keywords
