FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to polymer chemistry, particularly to bioactive anionic polymer latex. The bioactive anionic polymer latex contains a latex polymer, at least one bioactive component at least partially encapsulated by the latex polymer and, optionally, at least one bulky component contained in the latex polymer. The latex is obtained through emulsion polymerisation of monomers to form polymer latex in the presence of at least one bioactive component. The latex is a product of polymerisation of at least a first ethylenically unsaturated monomer and, optionally, at least a second ethylenically unsaturated monomer, which is aninic or an anion precursor. The bioactive component used can be antibacterial and antifungal agents. The invention also describes methods of obtaining and using the bioactive anionic polymer latex.
EFFECT: higher antimicrobial activity of latex, as well as antimicrobial activity of products made from said latex.
