Article Synopsis
  • Researchers modified biobased polylactide (PLA) films by applying a low reticulate polysiloxane gel to enhance their surface properties, specifically making them more hydrophilic.
  • The modification involved coating the PLA with poly(methylhydrogenosiloxane) (PMHS) and then incorporating hydrophilic molecules like triethylene glycol monomethyl allyl (TEGMEA) and a new zwitterionic compound for improved water interaction.
  • Tests showed that the modified PLA films were much wetter (lower water contact angles) and maintained good biocompatibility, which reduces protein and bacterial adhesion, indicating their potential for medical applications.
