The development of new sorbents and methods of their catalytic activity increase is an important task of nuclear energy and medicine. This paper presents the investigation results on the magnetic field effect on the iodine adsorption on the polyethylene, polycarbonate, and polystyrene surfaces. The revealed effect of the sorption property improvement by the dielectric surfaces in the magnetic fields opens new possibilities for efficiency increase of radioactive materials filters. The novel technology of medical polymer modification could be developed on the basis of magneto-induced sorption effect. The goal of this technology is to decrease biodegradation degree, acquire bactericidal and antiviral properties, increase cytoreduction, and purposefully change the mechanical characteristics.
