The results of studying the antibacterial and antitumor activity of the polymers and nanocomposites and their immunomodulatory ability, toxicity, and interaction with body cells, as well as the prospects for their use in the development of medical materials, are presented.

Radiation-Assisted Synthesis of Polymer-Based Nanomaterials

Radiation technology has long been proven as a simple, rapid, green and sustainable technology with macroscale applications in healthcare, industry and environment. Its merits, however, have not been fully utilized in today’s ever growing nanotechnology. Ionizing radiation has beneficial effects for the synthesis and modification of structure and properties of nanomaterials. This paper intends to update the application of ionizing radiation in the development of various nanomaterials under the categories: (i) carbon-based nanomaterials, (ii) metal-based nanomaterials, (iii) polymer-based nanomaterials, (iv) polymer nanocomposites and (v) nano-scale grafting for advanced membrane applications.
