Purpose. To substantiate and analyze biotechnological approaches for the development of innovative nonwoven materials with antimicrobial properties aimed at improving the safety and functional characteristics of finished products.
Methodology. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of modern biotechnological methods for modifying nonwoven fabrics and physicochemical methods for evaluating the structure and properties of materials. The dip-impregnation method was applied as a technological approach for the biomodification of nonwoven materials using antimicrobial agents based on decamethoxin. The research involved the analysis of scientific literature, structural and functional assessment of materials, as well as methods for determining the antimicrobial activity and stability of modified surfaces.
Findings. Studies have shown that the use of biotechnological methods for modifying nonwoven materials contributes to the formation of stable antimicrobial properties. It was established that the use of the dot impregnation method with decamethoxin-based compositions ensures a uniform distribution of the antimicrobial agent on the surface of the material and increases the effectiveness of inhibiting pathogenic microflora.
Originality. The study substantiates biotechnological approaches to the functionalization of innovative nonwoven materials using antimicrobial agents and determines the role of decamethoxin in the formation of stable antimicrobial structures. The feasibility of biomodification of nonwoven materials to enhance their biocidal activity without compromising their performance properties has been confirmed.
Practical walue. Biotechnological approaches to the creation of innovative sanitary and hygienic products, specialized nonwoven materials, medical materials with prolonged antimicrobial action are systematized. The proposed solutions contribute to improving the safety, biocompatibility, hygienic properties, and functionality of modern nonwoven materials.
