Abstract

New Poly(lactic acid)/Polyvinylpyrrolidone, containing green synthesized Hydrozincite (GHZ) emulsion electrospun fibers and drop spread films possessing antibacterial and photocatalytic activity were prepared. The PLA/PVP/GHZ films possess higher photocatalytic efficiency towards Malachite Green (MG) dye discoloration (85%) than that of the fibers (62%). The films demonstrate better antibacterial activity to E. coli K-12 with about 6.58 Log CFU/ml in comparison with fibers which expressed about 2.20 Log CFU/ml reduction for 120 h contact.
