Abstract
The synthesizes poly(N,N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate) using two polymerization methods: solution and block were done. Average molecular weight of obtained polymers were: 10 850 g/mol and 146 300 g/mol. Molecular structure was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance – NMR and infrared spectroscopy – FTIR. The supermolecular structure was determined by Wide Angle X-ray Scattering – WAXS. The results of the studies suggest an amorphous form of the polymers. A thermal analysis shows that processing of PDAMA by melting techniques is impossible. In next step of work the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of aqueous solution of polymers were investigated. Studies have shown that both polymers have antibacterial and antifungal properties against bacetria: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Escherichia coli ATCC 10536 and fungi: Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404. The main objective of the study was to developed PDAMA nonwoven. The solution blow spinning technique was used.
Studies have shown that there is a possibility to obtain nonwowen form PDAMA but only from a polymer synthesized by block polymerization, which is characterized by the higher molecular weight than the polymer obtained by solution polymerization. The range of concentration of the polymer solution to produce a nonwoven was determined. The fibre morphology was determined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and supermolecular structure was examined by Wide Angle X-ray Scattering. Due to high solubility of material the radiation and chemical cross-linking of the structure PDAMA nonwoven were done. The biostatic activity of the obtained of nonwoven was determined.
