Control in size, surface area, pore size, and elasticity are the biggest advantages of using a man-made polymer. However, often the polymers are hydrophobic (do not encourage cell attachment); hence, it is hugely challenging to integrate them with the normal tissues. Herein, we have tried to overcome this disadvantage of polymers by coating them with citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles and arginine. High-density polyethylene, upon multiple treatments, shows low water contact angle, which encourages cell attachment and proliferation in comparison to the untreated polymers.</p>1 aSengupta, P.1 aSurwase, S., S.1 aPrasad, B., L.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/modification-porous-polyethylene-scaffolds-cell-attachment-and-proliferation
