<p>The present invention concerns a method for grafting a copolymer onto a polyolefin substrate. The method comprises the following steps:
(a) irradiating the said substrate with ionizing radiation to obtain an activated polyolefin substrate,
(b) bringing into contact the activated polyolefin substrate with a mixture of at least two compounds in distilled water comprising:
(i) from 10 to 40% by volume, related to the total volume of the reaction medium, of a hydrophilic unsaturated monomer selected from monomers having the formula:
wherein R 1 is H or methyl, R 2 is -COOH, -NH 2 , -CON(R 3 ) 2 , and R 3 is H or methyl,
(ii) from 20 to 50% by volume, related to the total volume of the reaction medium, of an antimicrobial agent having an average molecular weight of at least 200 g.mol -1 , to thereby form a copolymer-grafted polyolefin substrate. The invention also relates to copolymer-grafted polyolefin substrates obtained by this method and to a packaging material comprising copolymer-grafted polyolefin substrate according to the invention.</p> |
