ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY OF ANTIBACTERIAL COATINGS PRODUCED FROM POLYCATION AND ITS WATER-SOLUBLE COMPLEX WITH POLYANION

Abstract

In this work, the morphology and stability of coatings formed from polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride, as well as its complex with sodium polystyrenesulfonate, on the surface of glass and polycarbonate were studied. It has been established that the modifi cation of a polycation with a polyanion makes it possible to increase the resistance of the formed coatings to washing off with water, ensuring the creation of effective antibacterial coatings on various surfaces.
