title: Biocompatibility of choline salts as crosslinking agents for collagen based biomaterials.
abstract: A series of novel choline based salts, some of which can be described as ionic liquids, are prepared and evaluated for their biocompatibility; when combined with collagenous biomaterials they exhibit good cell viability and adhesion properties as required for biomedical implant applications.
