Abstract

The goal of this work was the modification of silicone rubber (SR) by radiation grafting of glycerol methacrylate (GlyMA) which was limited just on the surface, allowing the control of hydrophilicity and swelling properties. The grafted SRs were activated by derivatization of GlyMA to 2-oxoethyl methacrylate using sodium periodate, enabling the chemical immobilization of lysozyme by covalent bonds. The presence of lysozyme was confirmed by non-specific assay and by the enzymatic activity at 30 °C with Micrococcus lysodeikticus (coccus, Gram-positive). The materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance, thermogravimetric analysis, water contact angle, and by mechanical properties as well as scanning electron microscope.
