This paper summarizes the results of our experiments studying the effect of functional chemical groups of synthetic hydrophilic polymers on the recognition of these materials by macrophages in in vivo experiments. The interaction of keratinocytes with synthetic hydrophilic polymers in vitro is also demonstrated. The implants containing anionic groups (carboxylates) were shown to be better tolerated by nonspecific immunity. The keratinocytes are able to grow on hydrophilic polymer supports and migrate to surfaces with improved adhesivity (in vitro). The clinical applications of these experiments are demonstrated.
