Abstract
The surface of the VNIITU-1 carbon mesoporous sorbent was modified with poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone characterized by antibacterial activity. Synthesis was carried out in two stages: (1) impregnation of the carbon sorbent by an aqueous solution of poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone with the molecular mass of 10000 g/mol; and (2) impregnation of the carbon sorbent by an aqueous solution of the (N-vinylpyrrolidone) monomer and initiator with their further polymerization in an inert atmosphere. Carbon sorbent samples were studied using a complex of physicochemical methods: scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, low-temperature nitrogen adsorption, nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermogravimetry. It was found that the polymer obtained on the carbon surface is free of the initial toxic VP monomer. Microbiological tests of modified sorbents with respect to pathogenic and opportunistic microflora were carried out.
