Problems set by Professor N.M. Emanuel in the field of applied works were characterized by a fundamental approach. In particular, at the beginning of 1980s the issues of polymer materials’ biodamage traditionally related to microbiology were included by N.M. Emanuel into the chemical destruction section of polymer materials science. Subsequent investigations in this field showed active destructing agents of materials in interaction with microorganisms to be products of their vital functions – metabolites representing famous chemical agents: water, salts, acids, alkali, enzymes, toxins, i.e., biodamage proceeds by laws of chemical destruction [1-10].
