ABSTRACT
Biodegradable polymeric materials with antimicrobial surfaces could be a suitable alternative for production of medical devices, especially if they are prepared in form of composites containing functional matter. Their greatest advantage is that they do not need to be removed from patient's body and simultaneously they can prevent growth of biofilm. In this work, polymeric films of polylactide acid with biosynthetically prepared silver nanoparticles, commercial multiwall carbon nanotubes and organovermiculite with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide in various concentrations were prepared to get polylactide composite with antibacterial properties. The dispersibility of filler in matrix was one of the key issues to be controlled in nanocomposite. Using several analytical techniques and observing morphology of prepared composite it was found that best results provide organovermiculite filler. For the tests of functionality antimicrobial tests were performed.
