The biocompatibility of C-C composites covered with PyC and p-HEMA was tested in vitro tests. These tests proved three times higher metabolic activity of cells cultured on C-C composite with p-HEMA in comparison with the control surface. There was no significant difference in inelammatory cytokine levels between the samples of C-C composite and C-C composite with p-HEMA.
