Synthesis and Antibacterial and Antiviral Properties of Silver Nanocomposites Based on Water-Soluble 2-Dialkylaminoethyl Methacrylate Copolymers

Copolymers of 2-dimethyl- and 2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate with 2-deoxy-2-methacryalamido-D-glucose and N-vinyl-N-methylacetamide with 20 – 80 mol% of 2-dialkylaminoethyl methacrylate units and molecular mass (40 – 80)·103 Da were synthesized. Silver nanocomposites based on these copolymers were obtained. The synthesized Ag-containing nanocomposites were found to exhibit antibacterial and antiviral activity.
