Chitosan beads with colloidal silver nanoparticles inclued in the polymer matrix have been obtained by the introduction of chitosan into an acidified nanosilver sol. Dual interconnection of drops of the resulting solution was then carried out by ionotropic gelation at the first stage and covalent crosslinking of the polymer matrix with adipic acid at the second stage. The surface morphology of the obtained beads was studied by scanning electron microscopy. Data of Fourier transform IR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of covalent bonds between chitosan and adipic acid. The antibacterial activity of obtained beads against S. aureus and E. coli was evaluated using agar diffusion test. It was shown that the сhitosan beads modified with nanostructured silver exhibited an antibacterial effect against the tested strains, and they can be used as a basis for creating biodegradable wound healing dressings with a prolonged antibacterial effect. chitosan, silver nanoparticles, antibacterial activity, wound dressings This work was supported by the "Russian Academic Excellence Project 5-100". The study was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research in the framework of the Scientific Project no. 18-29-18039.

The growing anthropogenic load on the lithosphere is currently characterized by the alienation of huge areas for solid domestic waste. One of the most common pollutants is traditional plastics with a degradation period of over 100 years. In connection with the increasing environmental requirements, polymer materials, along with a high set of technological and operational parameters, must be environmentally friendly and biodegradable. The development of polymer composite materials that undergo accelerated physicochemical and biological changes in the natural environment due to the introduction of biodegradable additives is one of the potential methods for processing synthetic materials and ensures the release of significant areas of fertile soils and lands from the steadily increasing amount of polymer waste. The use of adipic acid esters as PVC plasticizers contributes to the production of biodegradable composites. The article describes a method for obtaining new esters of adipic acid, presents the results of studying their properties for practical use in PVC composites, and assesses the economic efficiency of preventing damage to the environment when using them.

ABSTRACT Some ultracompact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) have elevated observed dynamical V-band mass-to-light (M/LV) ratios with respect to what is expected from their stellar populations assuming a canonical initial mass function (IMF). Observations have also revealed the presence of a compact dark object in the centres of several UCDs, having a mass of a few to 15 per cent of the present-day stellar mass of the UCD. This central mass concentration has typically been interpreted as a supermassive black hole, but can in principle also be a subcluster of stellar remnants. We explore the following two formation scenarios of UCDs: (i) monolithic collapse and (ii) mergers of star clusters in cluster complexes as are observed in massively starbursting regions. We explore the physical properties of the UCDs at different evolutionary stages assuming different initial stellar masses of the UCDs and the IMF being either universal or changing systematically with metallicity and density according to the integrated Galactic IMF theory. While the observed elevated M/LV ratios of the UCDs cannot be reproduced if the IMF is invariant and universal, the empirically derived IMF that varies systematically with density and metallicity shows agreement with the observations. Incorporating the UCD-mass-dependent retention fraction of dark remnants improves this agreement. In addition, we apply the results of N-body simulations to young UCDs and show that the same initial conditions describing the observed M/LV ratios reproduce the observed relation between the half-mass radii and the present-day masses of the UCDs. The findings thus suggest that the majority of UCDs that have elevated M/LV ratios could have formed monolithically with significant remnant-mass components that are centrally concentrated, while those with small M/LV values may be merged star cluster complexes.
