EFFECT OF SOME METAL β-DIKETONATES ON THE BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY OF POLYMER FILMS AGAINST GRAM-POSITIVE MICROORGANISMS

Abstract

It is shown that the β-diketonates inclusion in polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate films through covalent binding allows obtaining polymeric materials with high bactericidal activity against gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and M. luteus. Thereat, the nature and quantity of the introduced metal and the polymer matrix play an important role.
