Preparation and Study of Polymer Implants with a Silver Nanocoating

Аннотация

Polymer mesh implants with a nanostructured silver coating were prepared by the chemical reduction of silver ions with and without prior plasmochemical activation of the polymers. We studied the effect of plasmochemical treatment on the amount and size of the reduced silver particles and determined the antimicrobial activity of these samples. The homogeneity of the nanostructured silver coating was evaluated.
