The ZnO sol well-crystallized was prepared by the sol-gel method. The ZnO films were coated on medical-grade PVC surface by the improved organic-inorganic interfacial adhesion method. The physical and photocatalytic properties of the samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, DRS spectra and measured by the photodegradation reaction of Rho - damine B (RhB) and anti-bacteria for Escherichia coli ( E. col i ), respectively. The results show that pretreatment of PVC by the mix solution of THF-PVC help s to improve the amount and adhesion strength of ZnO suspension to PVC surface. The photocatalytic and antibacterial properties of the THF-ZnO/PVC film are better than that of the ZnO/PVC and neat PVC. Under UV irradiation, the THF-ZnO/PVC film shows the best antibacterial properties with 99% kill rate of bacteria.
