ABSTRACT An antibiofilm and antimicrobial polymer film using an enzyme modified polymer film and process of producing the same. Initially, curcumin (e.g., a cross linker) can be mixed with ethanol and coated on a polymer surface in order to thereby place into a Ultra Violet (UV) chamber for a defined time period (e.g., 10 minutes). The UV treatment can make a cross link between the functional group of the polymer and the curcumin. In another embodiment of the present invention, if the polymer surface does not possess a functional group, the polymer surface can be UV treated towards radical formation in order to form an activated polymer. The activated polymer can be further coated with the curcumin and further placed into the UV chamber for a defined time period. An enzyme (e.g., hydrolase) is coated on the curcumin liked polymer surface and UV treated in order to form a cross link between the functional group present on the curcumin and the functional group present in the enzyme. Such a treatment results in an improved hydrolase cross linked polymer film which can be adapted in a wide range of packaging applications of food packaging industry.
