N2  - The engineering of tissue for mechanically demanding applications in the cardiovascular system is likely to require mechanical conditioning of cell-scaffold constructs prior to their implantation. Scaffold properties amenable to such an application include high elasticity and strength coupled with controllable biodegradative and celladhesive properties. To fulfill such design criteria, we have synthesized a family of poly(ester-urethane)ureas (PEUUs)from polycaprolactone and 1,4-diisocyanatobutane. Lysine ethyl ester (Lys)or putrescine was used as chain extenders. To encourage cell adhesion, PEUUs were surface modified with radio-frequency glow discharge followed by coupling of Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS). The synthesized PEUUs were highly flexible, with breaking strains of 660-895
