Abstract
The common approach to creating antimicrobial polymer materials is the distribution of a bactericidal additive in a material by mixing the additive with a solution or a melt of the polymer. This work proposes the method introducing of copper(II) sulfate, which has antimicrobial properties, into a poly(lactic acid) film by forced impregnation of a salt solution via the crazing mechanism. CuSO4 has been found to be uniformly distributed in the bulk of the polymer in the form of particles with sizes of about 100 nm. In the course of the structural modification, the surface of the polymer film becomes rougher and more hydrophobic. The water contact angle increases from 40° to 60°–65°. The incorporation of CuSO4 does not affect the surface properties but has a reinforcing effect on the polymer matrix as is evident from tensile tests (strength and elongation at break increase by 2.5 and 1.4 times, respectively).
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
