The fracture of guanidine-containing polymers and the chemical and physicomechanical properties of the synthesized materials under the influence of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria (HOB) were studied. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of a HOB biofilm on the surface of the studied ma...
