Abstract
The efficiency of the sessile-drop method for the quality control of nanostructured polymers for medical use is studied. The theoretical bases of the proposed method are presented and the results of experimental studies, which prove the efficiency of its use for the detection of different defect categories in nanostructured polymers, are given.
