Abstract
The review deals with the synthesis and applications of biologically active cellulose derivatives. The synthesis of cellulose derivatives with antimicrobial and haemostatic (arresting blood flow) properties, the possible fields of application of antimicrobial and haemostatic cellulose materials, the synthesis of graft copolymers of cellulose and biologically active proteins (enzymes and antigens), and medical applications of cellulose derivatives containing ionogenic or complex-forming groups are considered.
The bibliography includes 197 references.
