Abstract
Films formed by metals and phenols through a coordinative interaction have been extensively studied in previous years. We report the successful formation of MPN films from the phenolic compounds caffeic acid and lignosulfonate using Fe3+ ions for complexation. The likewise examined p-coumaryl alcohol showed some MPN film formation tendency, while for coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol, no successful film buildup could be observed. These newly formed films were compared to tannic acid-Fe3+ films as a reference. Film growth and degradation were tracked by using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The films were degradable under different conditions such as alkaline environments or in the presence of a strong chelator. Small hollow capsules with a diameter of 3 μm and thicknesses in the nanometer range were produced. Additionally, the prepared films showed varying colors and levels of wettability. By utilizing the films' coating properties, we successfully dyed human hair in various colors.

Enhancing the multifunctional properties of cellulose fabrics through in situ hydrothermal deposition of TiO 2 nanoparticles at low temperature for antibacterial self-cleaning under UV-Vis illumination. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128321. [PMID: 38000578 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to improve the multifunctional properties (including photocatalysis, stability reusability, self-cleaning, antibacterial effects, and thermal radiation shielding) of cellulose fabrics through incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles. To achieve this, anatase TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized in situ and deposited onto cotton fabrics through hydrothermal method. The presence of TiO2 nanoparticles in cellulose fabrics greatly enhanced the photocatalytic efficiency and adsorption range and did not damage the fabric fibers. The TiO2-coated cotton exhibited an outstanding photocatalytic efficiency, with dye removal rates of 92.20 % ± 0.015 % and 99.68 % ± 0.002 % under UV-A and visible illumination, respectively. In addition, the material exhibited thermal radiation shielding properties, in which no heat absorption was observed within 60 min at 40 °C-70 °C. To further enhance the hydrophobicity, the TiO2-coated cotton was surface-modified with 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (PFDTS). The resulting PFDTS/TiO2-coated cotton was superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of 156.50° ± 0.05° with a sliding angle of 4.33° ± 0.47° and roughness of 67.35 nm. The superhydrophobicity of the PFDTS/TiO2-coated cotton also facilitated self-cleaning through water injection to remove soil impurities. Furthermore, the PFDTS/TiO2-coated cotton exerted antibacterial effects against gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria under UV-A or visible illumination. These nanocomposite fabrics with multifunctional properties have potential for industrial, military, and medical applications.

Abstract
The current study presents a simple and cost-competitive method for the development of high-performance superhydrophobic and superoleophilic cotton fabrics coated with cadmium oxide/cerotic acid (CdO/CE)-polycaprolactone (PCL)- and cadmium oxide/stearic acid (CdO/ST)-polycaprolactone-grafted hybrid composites. X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to characterize the CdO/CE-PCL and CdO/ST-PCL and polycaprolactone-modified cotton fabrics. Using an optical contact angle meter, the wetting behavior of corrosive liquids such as coffee, milk, tea, water dyed with methylene blue, strong acids (HCl), strong alkali (NaOH), and saturated salt solution (NaCl) on the CdO-CE/ST/PCL-modified cotton fabrics is assessed as well as the durability of CdO-CE/ST/PCL-modified cotton fabrics in corrosive liquids. Data obtained from the oil-water separation experiment indicate remarkable separation efficiency with oil purity values of ≥99.97 wt %, and high permeation flux values of up to 11,700 ± 300 L m-2 h-1 are observed for surfactant-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions via a gravity-driven technique. From the data obtained, it is concluded that the nano-CdO-grafted superhydrophobic hybrid polymer composite-coated cotton fabrics (CdO-ST/(CE)/PCL/CFs) can be utilized for self-cleaning and oil/water separation applications.

Abstract
Herein, we present a novel biosensor based on nature-inspired poly(caffeic acid) (PCA) grafted to magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with glucose oxidase (GOx) from Aspergillus niger via adsorption technique. The biomolecular corona was applied to the fabrication of a biosensor system with a screen-printed electrode (SPE). The obtained results indicated the operation of the system at a low potential (0.1 V). Then, amperometric measurements were performed to optimize conditions like various pH and temperatures. The SPE/Fe3O4@PCA-GOx biosensor presented a linear range from 0.05 mM to 25.0 mM, with a sensitivity of 1198.0 μA mM-1 cm-2 and a limit of detection of 5.23 μM, which was compared to other biosensors presented in the literature. The proposed system was selective towards various interferents (maltose, saccharose, fructose, L-cysteine, uric acid, dopamine and ascorbic acid) and shows high recovery in relation to tests on real samples, up to 10 months of work stability. Moreover, the Fe3O4@PCA-GOx biomolecular corona has been characterized using various techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Bradford assay.

Abstract
The development of cotton fabrics with special properties such as superhydrophobicity, self-cleaning, oil/water separation, anti-bacterial activity and blood repellency without compromising its intrinsic properties such as flexibility, breathability, comfort, and biodegradability is quite challenging task. In this study, a simple and environmentally friendly approach was used to fabricate superhydrophobic cotton fabric by introducing chitosan-based composite coatings over cotton fabric. The surface properties of the cotton samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The prepared cotton fabrics showed excellent superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 154.4° and also possess excellent antibacterial activity against Gram positive and negative bacteria with inhibition zone of 16 mm and 22 mm in disk diffusion method and shake flask method results revealed that the chitosan-PAni-ZnO-STA coated cotton effectively inhibits the bacterial growth. Furthermore, the self-cleaning, blood repellency and oil-water separation performance of cotton fabric were also performed to examine the feasibility of as-modified cotton in both environmental and clinical applications.

Abstract
To alleviate the economic and environmental damage caused by industrial discharges of oily wastewater, materials applied for efficient oil/water separation are receiving significant attention from researchers and engineers. Among others, switchable wettable materials for bidirectional oil/water separation show great potential for practical applications. Inspired by mussels, we utilized a simple immersion method to construct a polydopamine (PDA) coating on a peony-like copper phosphate surface. Then, TiO2 was deposited on the PDA coating surface to build a micro-nano hierarchical structure, which was modified with octadecanethiol (ODT) to obtain a switchable wettable peony-like superhydrophobic surface. The water contact angle of the obtained superhydrophobic surface reached 153.5°, and the separation efficiency was as high as 99.84% with a flux greater than 15,100 L/(m2·h) after 10 separation cycles for a variety of heavy oil/water mixtures. Notably, the modified membranes have a unique photoresponsiveness, transforming to superhydrophilic upon ultraviolet irradiation, achieving separation efficiencies of up to 99.83% and separation fluxes greater than 32,200 L/(m2·h) after 10 separation cycles for a variety of light oil/water mixtures. More importantly, this switch behavior is reversible, and the high hydrophobicity can be restored after heating to achieve efficient separation of heavy oil/water mixtures. In addition, the prepared membranes can maintain high hydrophobicity under acid-base conditions and after 30 sandpaper abrasion cycles, and damaged membranes can be restored to superhydrophobicity after a brief modification in the ODT solution. This simple-to-prepare, easy-to-repair, robust membrane with switchable wettability shows great potential in the field of oil/water separation.

Abstract
Experiment evaluation and mechanism analysis of separation performance are crucial for oily wastewater treatment. In this work, a fluorinated superhydrophobic/superoleophilic (F-SHPB/SOPL) surface was fabricated on a steel mesh substrate by double depositions of SiO2-TiO2 nanoparticles for high-roughness improvement and composite modification of fluorine-alkyl groups for low-energy achievement. Measurements of SEM, XPS, FTIR, laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) were carried out for surface property characterization. The oil-water separation performances at the prepared F-SHPB/SOPL surface were investigated from experimental and simulation aspects. Separation tests, flux tests, and anti-contamination tests were performed by experimental methods. The results indicated that the surface showed excellent separation efficiencies (>99.2%) for oil-water mixture and oil-in-water emulsion, high permeate flux (>3000 L·m-2·h-1) for organic oils, and perfect anti-pollution/self-cleaning capacity for liquid and solid contaminations. The interaction energies and interaction distances were measured by ab initio molecular dynamics simulation (AIMD) simulations. With lower interaction energy (Eoil = -456.52∼-1044.22 eV) than that of water molecules (Ewater = -172.73 eV) and shorter distance (Doil = 4.42∼5.13 Å) than that of water molecules (Dwater = 11.49 Å), oil molecules showed higher interaction stability than water molecules on the F-SHPB/SOPL surface. The calculation revealed the essence of the oil-water separation phenomenon. This work not only proposes the fabrication methodology of the SHPB/SOPL material but also elucidates the intermolecular interaction for oil-water separation. The results can provide a fundamental basis for separation operation and removal treatment in industrial and domestic applications.

Abstract
Considering the serious damage to aquatic ecosystems and marine life caused by oil spills and oily wastewater discharge, efficient, environment-friendly and sustainable oil/water separation technology has become an inevitable trend for current development. Herein, fabrics are recognized as eco-friendly materials for water treatment due to their good degradability and low cost. Particularly, fabrics with rough structures and natural hydrophilicity/oleophilicity enable the construction of superwetting surfaces for the selective separation of oil/water mixtures and even complex emulsions. Therefore, superwetting fabrics for efficiently solving oil spills and purifying oily wastewater have received extensive attention. Especially, Janus and smart fabrics are highly anticipated to enable the on-demand and sustainable treatment of oil spills and oily wastewater due to their changeable wettability. Moreover, the fabrication of superwetting fabrics with multifunctional performances for oily wastewater purification can further promote their practical industrial applications, such as photocatalytic, self-cleaning, and self-healing characteristics. However, some potential challenges still exist, which urgently need to be systematically summarized to guide the future development of this research field. In this review, firstly, the fundamental theories of wettability and the separation mechanisms based on special wettability are discussed. Then, superwetting fabrics for efficient oil/water separation are systematically reviewed, such as superhydrophobic/superoleophilic (SHB/SOL), superhydrophilic/superoleophobic (SHL/SOB), SHL/underwater superoleophobic (SHL/UWSOB), and UWSOB/underoil superoleophobic (UWSOB/UOSHB) fabrics. Most importantly, we highlight Janus, smart, and multifunctional fabrics based on their superwetting property. Correspondingly, the advantages and disadvantages of each superwetting fabric are comprehensively analyzed. Besides, super-antiwetting fabrics with superhydrophobic/superoleophobic (SHB/SOB) property are also introduced. Finally, the challenges and future research directions are explained.

Abstract
Through the special chemical structure of dopamine (DA), superhydrophobic polyester (PET) fabric was fabricated by introducing the low surface energy substance hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDS) into the PET fabric and chelating Fe ions with phenolic hydroxyl groups of polydopamine (PDA) to form a rough surface. The water contact angle (WCA) of the prepared PDA/Fe/HDS PET fabric was higher than 160° and the scrolling angle (SA) was lower than 2.09°. The excellent adhesion property of polydopamine (PDA) on the substrate is helpful to improve the stability of superhydrophobic PDA/Fe/HDS PET fabric. The tests results showed that the modified PET fabric maintains excellent mechanical properties. Its superhydrophobic property had good stability and durability in the harsh environment of washing, mechanical friction, UV irradiation, seawater immersion, acid–base and organic reagents erosion. The PDA/Fe/HDS PET fabric also had good self-cleaning and oil–water separation properties. It still had good oil–water separation performance after repeated use for 25 times, and the separation efficiency was more than 95%. The preparation method was facile, the treatment time can be shortened, the cost of the modified substrate was low, and fluorine-free substances were used in the process. This work provides a new way to expand the added value of PET fabrics and develop durable superhydrophobic fabrics in practical application. Through the special chemical structure of dopamine, superhydrophobic polyester fabric was fabricated by introducing the low surface energy substance hexadecyltrimethoxysilane into the PET fabric and chelating Fe ions to form rough surface.![]()

Abstract
Oil/water mixtures are a potentially major source of environmental pollution if efficient separation technology is not employed during processing. A large volume of oil/water mixtures is produced via many manufacturing operations in food, petrochemical, mining, and metal industries and can be exposed to water sources on a regular basis. To date, several techniques are used in practice to deal with industrial oil/water mixtures and oil spills such as in situ burning of oil, bioremediation, and solidifiers, which change the physical shape of oil as a result of chemical interaction. Physical separation of oil/water mixtures is in industrial practice; however, the existing technologies to do so often require either dissipation of large amounts of energy (such as in cyclones and hydrocyclones) or large residence times or inventories of fluids (such as in decanters). Recently, materials with selective wettability have gained attention for application in separation of oil/water mixtures and surfactant stabilized emulsions. For example, a superhydrophobic material is selectively wettable toward oil while having a poor affinity for the aqueous phase; therefore, a superhydrophobic porous material can easily adsorb the oil while completely rejecting the water from an oil/water mixture, thus physically separating the two components. The ease of separation, low cost, and low-energy requirements are some of the other advantages offered by these materials over existing practices of oil/water separation. The present review aims to focus on the surface engineering aspects to achieve selectively wettability in materials and its their relationship with the separation of oil/water mixtures with particular focus on emulsions, on factors contributing to their stability, and on how wettability can be helpful in their separation. Finally, the challenges in application of superwettable materials will be highlighted, and potential solutions to improve the application of these materials will be put forward.

Abstract
Plant-derived polyphenol coating offers a promising route to fabricate functional surfaces for different substrate materials. However, almost all of the deposition approaches are time-consuming and involve inefficient processes, and the mechanisms behind the coating deposition are rarely understood. Herein, we report a rational methodology to achieve the rapid deposition of poly(caffeic acid) (PCA) by using H2O2 as a trigger under the assistance of copper sulfate (CuSO4). The comparative monomer structure of PCA oxidation polymerization has illustrated a significant distinction in the reaction path for PCA coating deposition which has never been reported before. Until now, the unprecedented fast velocity for polyphenol coating has been obtained, and the PCA coating exhibits excellent homogeneity, spatiotemporal tunability, and firm stability. Moreover, three different types of filtration membranes, poly(vinylidene fluoride) microfiltration membrane (PVDF MF membrane), poly(ether sulfone) (PES) ultrafiltration (UF) hollow fiber membrane, and PCA-coated PES nanofiltration (NF) membrane, are all successfully dip-coated using H2O2-triggered PCA coating. Without synthetic complexities and intricate procedures, the formation of hydrophilic and homogeneous PCA aggregates on the surface and/or inside pore walls resulted in various membranes. The as-prepared PCA-coated PVDF MF membrane demonstrates excellent oil/water separation efficiency of less than 150 ppm and a flux recovery rate of approximately 90% even after five cycles. By one-step co-deposition of PCA and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PEtOx) on the PES UF membrane surface, hydrophilicity and biofouling resistance are implemented for efficient protein filtration. The PES NF membrane formed by the PCA layer exhibits high mono-/divalent ion selectivity and excellent chlorine resistance. Overall, these results represent a rapid and sustainable approach to tailor PCA coatings for versatile liquid separation processes.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Wetting behavior of solid surfaces plays an important role in various industrials and even daily life applications. Controlling the surface wettability through fabricating strongly hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties is achieved by tailoring surface topography and chemical composition. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSSs) are a class of hybrid materials with the possibility of hydrophobicity enhancement through simultaneous increase in surface roughness and reduction of surface energy. EXPERIMENTS In this study, octavinyl-POSS (OV-POSS) structures were utilized in fabrication of superhydrophobic cotton fabric. Coating was successfully performed through creating a two-layer topography via spraying method. In brief, surface roughness was enhanced by spraying a base layer of TiO2 sol over the surface followed by applying a nanocomposite layer composed of 0.02 wt% of POSS in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). FINDINGS It was observed that, water contact angle (WCA) of pristine and TiO2 coated fabric was enhanced from 0° up to ∼168° using 0.02 wt% OV-POSS/PDMS nanocomposite with a water sliding angle (WSA) of <10°. According to the results, environmentally friendly nature of precursors, high thermal, mechanical and chemical stability, self-cleaning and anti-adhesion propertiesof the as-prepared coating and simple preparation method with no special post-treatment requirement, confirm that the as-prepared coating is perfect candidate for large-scaled applications.
