Abstract
Antibacterial glass mat sheets containing unsaturated polyester resin as a matrix and poly[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (PDMAEMA)-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) nanocomposites as a filler were prepared. Controlled functionalization of MWNT by in situ atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of DMAEMA was applied for the preparation of nanocomposites. An antibacterial activity of the prepared unsaturated polyester glass mat sheets was determined by the application of film contact method based on the Japanese Industrial Standard JIS Z-2801. The mechanical properties of the prepared unsaturated polyester glass mat sheets were estimated by the simplified procedure designed in laboratory. A deliberate search for the ATRP process conditions showing the most effective antibacterial activity was tried beyond all experiments.
