Popis: Natural biodegradable and biocompatible polysaccharides chitosan, pectin, carrageenan and heparin were used to form thin nanostructured films. In this study using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and force spectroscopy the special characteristics of formation and structure of thin coatings were investigated, three models of the polymers interaction were proposed. Different mechanisms of polymers influence on each other in the bilayers formation were shown, coatings with different surface structure and mechanical properties were formed. The obtained data can be used for the preparation of nanostructured coatings with desired surface parameters.
