The Effect of Plasma Pretreatment and Cross-Linking Degree on the Physical and Antimicrobial Properties of Nisin-Coated PVA Films

Stable antimicrobial nisin layers were prepared on the carrying medium-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, crosslinked by glutaric acid. Surface plasma dielectric coplanar surface barrier discharge (DCSBD) modification of polyvinyl alcohol was used to improve the hydrophilic properties and to provide bet...
