eng Abstract:
The presented paper is focused on the investigation of antifungal properties of nanofiber PVA-based textiles with incorporated copper and silver ions. In particular, the ability to prevent the growth of Dry rot fungus (Serpula lacrymans) was studied in laboratory conditions. For that purpose, the Petri dishes with malt agar were inoculated with square cut-outs of seed stocks, consequently covered by the nanofiber textiles and kept in an incubator at 28 degrees C. The fungal growth had been monitored and recorded at regular intervals for 28 days. The comparison of the individual treatments (PVA, PVA + Ag, PVA + Cu, PVA + Ag + Cu) is finally discussed.\n
