Abstract
A performing photoinitiating system based on paprika spice was developed (i) to efficiently initiate, according to a green photoinduced process, the cationic polymerization of a biosourced and renewable monomer, e.g., gallic acid, and (ii) to synthesize environmentally friendly antibacterial coatings in a reduced time. A decrease of 100% of the adhered bacteria was demonstrated upon visible light illumination without any remaining live bacteria.
