Basis of optimal nanomodified polypropylene monofilaments with antimicrobial properties for creation of meshimplants and surgical suture materials
Abstract
The research showed influence of binary carbon nanotubes and polyhexamethyleneguanidine chloride (CNT/PHMC) on the properties of polypropylene monofilament and optimization structure of the composition. It was developed biologically active monofilament with antimicrobial properties, prolonged high strength and elasticity, which retain their properties at different sterilization methods. New type monofilament can be used as surgical suture material and raw material for the manufacture of plastic mesh allografts for abdominal hernias treatment.
