FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that CD is integrated into the PVA matrix and is firmly retained within it. The presence of CD increases the rate of FC release from the PVA matrix by a factor of four, making it possible to achieve 100% drug release within 24 h both in a model buffer system and in blood serum. The release of all the encapsulated FC molecules allows the material to achieve its full antibacterial potential, resulting in a four- to fivefold increase in antimicrobial activity against <i>E. coli</i> and <i>B. subtilis</i> strains. The encapsulation of CD in the polymer matrix can facilitate the development of new promising highly effective polymer materials for the treatment of infections arising from bacteria.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":756,"journal":{"name":"Russian Chemical Bulletin","volume":"75 8","pages":"2625 - 2633"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
