Abstract

Polypropylene nonwoven fabrics samples were modified using poly(2-(N,N-dimethyloamino ethyl) methacrylate) (PDAMA) and silver-containing layers. The structure of the material after modification was confirmed using scanning electron mocroscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier Transfer Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and electro-kinetic measurements. It was found that samples with external PDAMA layers have excellent activity against Staphylococcus aureus under dynamic contact conditions. In contrast, samples finished with deposited silver showed little antimicrobial effect. Antibacterial tests conducted under static conditions showed no antibacterial activity irrespective of the deposited layers.
