Biomimetic artificial prostheses which are made from polyester, such as
polyethylene terephthalate, and a method for the biomimetic
functionalization of such prostheses. The method includes a step
involving the grafting of biologically-active polymers or copolymers to
the polyester surface of the prostheses, the grafting step consisting of
the peroxidation of the surface by ozonation followed by a step including
the radical polymerization of a solution of at least one monomer. The
method also includes an optional step consisting in impregnating the
prostheses with type I and/or II collagen and/or fibronectins. The
prostheses thus obtained enable a normal and uniform regrowth of the
fibroblasts, thereby significantly improving the biological integration
of such polyester prostheses.
