PREPARATION AND MODIFICATION OF STYRENE-MALEIC ANHYDRIDE METHYL-METHACRYLATE TERPOLYMERS

The preparation and modification of styrene-maleic anhydride-methyl me thacrylate terpolymers by tributyltin oxide were studied. TBTO modifie d terpolymers have an antimicrobial effect in the systems with G+ and G- bacteria, fungi and moulds. It was observed after their adding to t he polyamide granules and fibres. The change of the inhibition effect owing the change of Sn-content in terpolymers is relatively small. It is also conserved during the repeated washing. Modified terpolymers do not worsening the studied characteristics of PA-6 fibres.
