The environmental impact of residual mineral fertilizers not utilized by plants is analyzed. It is shown that this negative effect extends to all elements of the environment: soil, atmosphere, hydrosphere. The perspective of the application of encapsulated mineral fertilizers that allow prolonged release of plant nutrients is outlined. The appliccation of modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETF) as a capsule-forming material for encapsulated mineral fertilizers is proposed. PET modification and fertilizer encapsulation technologies have been tested.

The hydrogel film composites of biomedical purpose based on copolymers of polyvinylpyrrolidone with 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate have been synthesized. The influence of filler nature, quantity and composition on the regularities of obtaining, structure and properties of hydrogels have been determined. Synthesized hydrogel composites are recommended to be used for the controlled drug release systems.
