Effect of C60 filling on structure and properties of composite films based on polystyrene

Both polystyrene films and polystyrene films filled with fullerenes (C60) were fabricated by the solution cast method. Mechanism of fullerene-polystyrene interaction, the structural characteristics of films, and their antimicrobial activity were researched. We found that the polystyrene/fullerene composite films manifest bacteriostatic and fungistatic effect.
