Bio-based networks derived from eugenol were prepared with an eco-friendly process by photoactivated thiol-ene reactions.
Allyl derivative eugenol, prepared by a nucleophilic substitution was combined with linalool, a monoterpene present in
the lavender essential oil, well known for its antibacterial activity, with eugenol, or carvacrol, sustainable antioxidant molecule
components of the essential oil of clove and oil of thyme, respectively. The photoactivated thiol-ene reaction is a quick room
temperature straightforward way to obtain renewable cross-linked networks. Several systems have been developed including,
covalent grafting of linalool, eugenol, or inclusion of carvacrol moieties to obtain functional materials. Two bacteria strains
were used in vitro to evaluate the resistance to bacterial adhesion and the DPPH method was used to determine the antioxidant
properties of the networks. As expected, the results showed a strong anti-adhesion activity against S. aureus and E. coli due
to the presence of eugenol moieties and carvacrol release. Moreover, the phenol groups of grafted eugenol or free carvacrol
provide an antioxidant activity characterized by a radical scavenging activity higher than 90%.
