Copolymers of betulin esters and silver nanocomposites based on them

详细

New biologically active silver nanocomposites based on the copolymer of lup-20(29)-ene-3,28-diol 28-O-vinylbenzoate with N-vinylpyrrolidone were prepared by the borohydride method. The formation of spherical nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 67 nm was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. The synthesized copolymers and silver nanocomposites exhibit cytotoxic activity and show promise for the development of new materials for medical purposes.
