Abstract: In this study, Chitosan(CS) based macromer was used to modify NIPAAm to make a novel temperature-responsive film for cell adhesion and detachment. CS was coupled with acrylic acid(AAc) to prepare a macromer(CS-AAc). Then, it was copolymerized with N-isopropylacrylamide(NIPAAm) to synthesize a P(CS-AAc-NIPAAm) film. The novel copolymer obtained was characterized via FTIR and XPS. There was thermo-response for the film against water, and this phenomenon was coincided with the data of dynamic contact angle against water. Moreover, the cytocompatibility of the film was investigated with fibroblast culture in vitro. The result reveal that the film exhibited a good cytocompatibility, when the temperature declined, it had the cell detachability.
