Copper Nanopartical Composites Based on Cellulose Derivatives

Polymer hydroxyethylcellulose matrix modification was made by mechanochemical method using copper containing nanoparticles, obtained by electrochemical reduction from copper sulphate solutions in water- ethanol medium. Interactions of copper containing nanoparticles with hydroxyethylcellulose were studies. Antimicrobial effect of the nanocomposites obtained was found.
