Abstract

Both polystyrene films and polystyrene films filled with fullerenes (C60) were fabricated by the solution cast method. Mechanism of fullerene-polystyrene interaction, the structural characteristics of films, and their antimicrobial activity were researched. We found that the polystyrene/fullerene composite films manifest bacteriostatic and fungistatic effect. Keywords: Polystyrene/fullerene composites, X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, Antimicrobial activity
