| Description | Chitosan and beta-cyclodextrin functionalization of polypropylene surface was done by atmospheric plasma assisted graft polymerization, with the purpose of obtaining a suitable material for high efficiency waste water filters. First results on recently completed continuous plasma-treatment reactor are presented. The chitosan coating exhibited a good resistance towards the washing effect. The beta-cyclodextrin coating was soluble in water, which suggests a lack of strong covalent bond with the PP surface. Further research on improving the beta-cyclodextrin coating quality is needed. |
