Popis: The photoinitiated grafting of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) onto poly(lactic acid) (PLA) film with the use of benzophenone (BP) as the initiator, modified the natural hydrophobic PLA behavior to an hydrophilic film with desirable wettability. The surface photografting parameters-percent conversion of monomer to overall photopolymerization (Cp), percent conversion of monomer to the photograft polymerization (Cg), and grafting efficiency (Eg) were calculated. The resulting film surface was analyzed using ATR-FTIR and UV spectroscopy, derivative spectroscopy and water contact angle. Besides, we demonstrated that the grafted polyvinylpyrrolidone chains could easily react with iodine to form a complex as the homopolymer does with antibacterial activity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
