Popis: In the present work, the surface of natural and artificial polymers was modified by plasma treatment using reactive gases mixture, ion-beam-induced deposition of α-C:H films and organic C60 derivatives deposition. The study of prepared biomaterials with nanostructured surface was carried out by means of atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle measurement and surface energy calculation. The investigation of antimicrobial activity of the materials was carried out by application method in relation to Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 54383 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853) microorganisms and fungi (Candida albicans).
