Abstract
Point-of-use treatment technologies can increase access to safe drinking water in rural areas. Sustained use of these technologies is uncommon due to oversight of community needs, user-perceived risks, long-term maintenance, and conflict with traditional practices. Nanosilver-enabled ceramic water filters are unique due to the use of locally sourced materials available at or near the target community; however, technical limitations persist (e.g., nanosilver's uncontrolled release and passivation from sulfide or chloride). This work aims to overcome these limitations by impregnating nanosilver onto ceramics with a Navajo pottery rosin, collected from pinyon trees with a third-generation artisan. Here, we investigate this sustainable and novel material for drinking water treatment; the study ranges from a proof of concept to testing under realistic conditions. Results show that when embedded in a thin film, the biopolymer controlled ionic silver dissolution and prevented silver passivation from sulfide and chloride. When applied to ceramic filters, the biopolymer effectively immobilized nanosilver in a range of waters. Over a 25 day study to emulate household-use conditions, this coating method sustained disinfection of a coculture of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria while controlling biofouling. Overall, the use of this Navajo pottery material can facilitate adoption while providing the needed technological advancement to these widely used treatment devices.

Abstract
The present study focuses on creating an antimicrobial and biocatalytic smart gating membrane by synthesizing unique core-shell microgels. The core-shell microgels are synthesized by grafting short chains of poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) onto a poly((N-isopropyl acrylamide)-co-glycidyl methacrylate)) (P(NIPAm-co-GMA)) core. Subsequently, the produced microgels are utilized as a substrate for synthesizing and stabilizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) through an in-situ approach. These Ag NPs immobilized microgels are then suction filtered over a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) track-etched support to create cross-linked composite microgel membranes (CMMs). After structural and permeation characterization of the prepared CMMs, the laccase enzyme is then covalently grafted to the surface of the membrane and tested for its effectiveness in degrading Reactive red-120 dye. The laccase immobilized biocatalytic CMMs show effective degradation of the Reactive red-120 by 71%, 48%, and 34% at pH 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Furthermore, the immobilized laccase enzyme showed better activity and stability in terms of thermal, pH, and storage compared to the free laccase, leading to increased reusability. The unique combination of Ag NPs and laccase on a thermoresponsive microgel support resulted in a responsive self-cleaning membrane with excellent antimicrobial and dye degradation capabilities for environmentally friendly separation technology.

Abstract
Food packages have been detected carrying novel coronavirus in multi-locations since the outbreak of COVID-19, causing major concern in the field of food safety. Metal-based supported materials are widely used for sterilization due to their excellent antibacterial properties as well as low biological resistance. As the principal part of antibacterial materials, the active component, commonly referred to Ag, Cu, Zn, etc., plays the main role in inhibiting and killing pathogenic microorganisms by destroying the structure of cells. As another composition of metal-based antibacterial materials, the carrier could support and disperse the active component, which on one hand, could effectively decrease the usage amount of active component, on the other hand, could be processed into various forms to broaden the application range of antibacterial materials. Different from other metal-based antibacterial reviews, in order to highlight the detailed function of various carriers, we divided the carriers into biocompatible and adsorptable types and discussed their different antibacterial effects. Moreover, a novel substitution antibacterial mechanism was proposed. The coating and shaping techniques of metal-based antibacterial materials as well as their applications in food storage at ambient and low temperatures are also comprehensively summarized. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis and reference for researchers in this field to develop new metal-based antibacterial materials.

Abstract
In order to solve the problems of poor mechanical property, non-antibacterial and low flux of calcium alginate (CaAlg) membrane, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) for improving CaAlg membrane in this paper. Meanwhile, the dispersion property of silver nanoparticles and the mechanical property, thermal stability, antibacterial property and filtration efficiency of the composite membrane were explored. The results illustrated CMCS observably strengthened the mechanical property and thermal stability of the composite membrane, and AgNPs endowed the composite membrane with excellent antibacterial property. The flux of the BSA/CMCS/AgNPs/CaAlg composite membrane was raised compared to CaAlg membrane. Finally, the viscose fiber/polyethylene terephthalate fiber (VF-PET) nonwoven fabric was introduced as the support layer to further improve the filtration flux and mechanical property of the composite membrane. VF-PET/BSA/CMCS/AgNPs/CaAlg membrane had a rejection rate of over 99.0 % for dye molecules and <9.0 % for salt ions, while the flux maintained 38.5 L·m-2·h-1. Furthermore, VF-PET/BSA/CMCS/AgNPs/CaAlg membrane also had excellent separation effect on actual dye wastewater. The separation of dye and salt by the membrane mainly depended on the screening mechanism of membrane pore size, rather than adsorption. The composite membrane had an outstanding performance on the separation of dye molecules and inorganic salt ions.

Abstract
Low permeability and chlorine resistance of normal thin-film composite (TFC) membranes restrict their practical applications in many fields. This study reports the preparation of a high chlorine-resistant TFC membrane for forward osmosis (FO) by incorporating corn stalk-derived N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) into the selective polyamide (PA) layer to construct a polydopamine (PDA) sub-layer (PTFCCQD). Membrane modification is characterized by surface morphology, hydrophilicity, Zeta potential, and roughness. Results show that TFCCQD (without PDA pretreatment) and PTFCCQD membranes possess greater negative surface charges and thinner layer-thickness (less than 68 nm). With N-CQDs and PDA pretreatment, the surface roughness of the PTFCCQD membrane decreases significantly with the co-existence of microsized balls and flocs with a dense porous structure. With the variation of concentration and type of draw solution, the PTFCCQD membrane exhibits an excellent permeability with low J(reverse salt flux)/J(water flux) values (0.1-0.25) due to the enhancement of surface hydrophilicity and the shortening of permeable paths. With 16,000 ppm·h chlorination, reverse salt flux of the PTFCCQD membrane (8.4 g m-2 h-1) is far lower than those of TFCCQD (136.2 g m-2 h-1), PTFC (127.6 g m-2 h-1), and TFC (132 g m-2 h-1) membranes in FO processes. The decline of salt rejection of the PTFCCQD membrane is only 8.2%, and the normalized salt rejection maintains 0.918 in the RO system (16,000 ppm·h chlorination). Super salt rejection is ascribed to the existence of abundant N-H bonds (N-CQDs), which are preferentially chlorinated by free chlorine to reduce the corrosion of the PA layer. The structure of the PA layer is stable during chlorination also due to the existence of various active groups grafted on the surface. This study may pave a new direction for the preparation of durable biomass-derivative (N-CQD)-modified membranes to satisfy much more possible applications.

Abstract
Water contaminated with low concentrations of pollutants is more difficult to clean up than that with high pollutant content levels. Membrane separation provides a solution for removing low pollutant content from water. However, membranes are prone to fouling, losing separation performances over time. Here we synthesized neutral (IM-NH2) and positively charged (IL-NH2) imidazole derivatives to chemically functionalize membranes. With distinct properties, these imidazole grafts could tailor membrane physicochemical properties and structures to benefit forward osmosis (FO) processes for the removal of 20-100 ppm of Safranin O dye-a common dye employed in the textile industry. The water fluxes produced by IM-NH2- and IL-NH2-modified membranes increased by 67% and 122%, respectively, with DI water as the feed compared to that with the nascent membrane. A 39% flux increment with complete dye retention (∼100%) was achieved for the IL-NH2-modified membrane against 100 ppm of Safranin O dye. Regardless of the dye concentration, the IL-NH2-modified membrane exhibited steadily higher permeation performance than the original membrane in long-term experiments. Reproducible experimental results were obtained with the IL-NH2-modified membrane after cleaning with DI water, demonstrating the good antifouling properties and renewability of the newly developed membrane.

Abstract
Development of low cost biosensing using convenient and environmentally benign materials is important for wide adoption and ultimately improved healthcare and sustainable development. Immobilized antibodies are often incorporated as an essential biorecognition element in point-of-care biosensors but these proteins are costly. We present a strategy of combining convenient and low-cost surface functionalization approaches for increasing the overall binding activity of antibody functionalized natural and synthetic fibers. We demonstrate a simple one-step in situ silica NP growth protocol for increasing the surface area available for functionalization on cotton and polyester fabrics as well as on nanoporous cellulose substrates. Comparing this effect with the widely adopted and low cost plant-based polyphenol coating to enhance antibody immobilization, we find that both approaches can similarly increase overall surface activity, and we illustrate conditions under which the two approaches can produce an additive effect. Furthermore, we introduce co-immobilization of antibodies with a sacrificial “steric helper” protein for further enhancing surface activities. In combination, several hundred percent higher activities compared to physical adsorption can be achieved while maintaining a low amount of antibodies used, thus paving a practical path towards low cost biosensing. Cotton, nanoporous cellulose and polyester fabric surfaces are functionalized with combinations of in situ grown silica NPs, polyphenol coating, and protein co-immobilization to enhance surface area, antibody binding efficiency, and biosensing.![]()

Abstract
The widespread occurrence of nosocomial infections and the emergence of new bacterial strands calls for the development of antibacterial coatings with localized antibacterial action that are capable of facing the challenges posed by increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. The Layer-by-Layer (LbL) technique, based on the alternating assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, can be applied for the non-covalent modification of multiple substrates, including medical implants. Polyelectrolyte multilayers fabricated by the LbL technique have been extensively researched for the development of antibacterial coatings as they can be loaded with antibiotics, antibacterial peptides, nanoparticles with bactericide action, in addition to being capable of restricting adhesion of bacteria to surfaces. In this review, the different approaches that apply LbL for antibacterial coatings, emphasizing those that can be applied for implant modification are presented.

Abstract
Membrane fouling, caused by aggregation of organics and microorganisms from filtrate on the membrane surface, seriously reduces the service life of a nanofiltration (NF) membrane. Developing facile and renewable antifouling modification methods without sacrificing separation properties of the membrane remain an imperative requirement. Herein, a thin-film composite (TFC) NF membrane with a light-responsive and regenerable functional layer (P-TFC) was fabricated via host-guest interactions between the azobenzene (guest) labeled functional polymers and the β-cyclodextrin (host) bonded membrane surface (H-TFC). The P-TFC-3 not only showed outstanding antifouling ability and high flux recovery ratio (FRR > 90% at the fourth antiadhesive test) but also exhibited enhanced water permeability (17.9 L m-2 h-1 bar-1) and high selectivity (αMgSO4NaCl = 33.4 and fast antibiotics enrichment capacity) compared with the pristine membrane. Furthermore, when the functional layer was contaminated, it can be removed by ultraviolet light irradiation and a new functional layer can be rebuilt by adding fresh azobenzene labeled functional polymers. After several regeneration processes, the membranes still showed constant separation properties and high flux recovery ability (FRR > 90%). This work proposes an easy-to-assemble and regenerable surface modification strategy to endow TFC NF membranes with excellent fouling resistance and sustainable utilization ability while maintaining high separation properties.

Abstract
Different forms of unmodified and modified Poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) are widely used as antifouling and antibacterial agents for biomedical industries and Nylon 6 is one of the polymers used for biomedical textiles. Our recent study focused on an efficient approach to PEG immobilization on a reduced Nylon 6 surface via N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC) conjugation. The conversion of amide functional groups to secondary amines on the Nylon 6 polymer surface was achieved by the reducing agent borane-tetrahydrofuran (BH3-THF) complex, before binding the PEG. Various techniques, including water contact angle and free surface energy measurements, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, were used to confirm the desired surface immobilization. Our findings indicated that PEG may be efficiently tethered to the Nylon 6 surface via DSC, having an enormous future potential for antifouling biomedical materials. The bacterial adhesion performances against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were examined. In vitro cytocompatibility was successfully tested on pure, reduced, and PEG immobilized samples.

Abstract
In this study, a polyamide forward osmosis membrane was functionalized with zwitterions followed by the in situ growth of metal-organic frameworks with silver as a metal core (Ag-MOFs) to improve its antibacterial and antifouling activity. First, 3-bromopropionic acid was grafted onto the membrane surface after its activation with N,N-diethylethylenediamine. Then, the in situ growth of Ag-MOFs was achieved by a simple membrane immersion sequentially in a silver nitrate solution and in a ligand solution (2-methylimidazole), exploiting the underlying zwitterions as binding sites for the metal. The successful membrane functionalization and the enhanced surface wettability were verified through an array of characterization techniques. When evaluated in forward osmosis tests, the modified membranes exhibited high performance and improved permeability compared to pristine membranes. Static antibacterial experiments, evaluated by confocal microscopy and colony-forming unit plate count, resulted in a 77% increase in the bacterial inhibition rate due to the activity of the Ag-MOFs. Microscopy micrographs of the Escherichia coli bacteria suggested the deterioration of the biological cells. The antifouling properties of the functionalized membranes translated into a significantly lower flux decline in forward osmosis filtrations. These modified surfaces displayed negligible depletion of silver ions over 30 days, confirming the stable immobilization of Ag-MOFs on their surface.

Abstract
An urgent need to find an effective solution to bacterial resistance is pushing worldwide research for highly effective means against this threat. Newly prepared hybrid organosilane fibres consisting of a (1S,2S)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivative, interconnected in the fibre network via covalent bonds, were fully characterised via different techniques, including FTIR, TGA-FTIR, SEM-EDS, and solid-state NMR. Fibrous samples were successfully tested against two types of pathogenic bacterial strains, namely Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The obtained results, showing >99.9% inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in direct contact compared to the control, may help particularly in case of infections, where there is an urgent need to treat the infection in direct contact. From this point of view, the above-mentioned fibrous material may find application in wound healing. Moreover, this new material has a positive impact on fibroblasts viability.

Abstract
In this study, a simple and facile approach was proposed to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) loaded cation-exchange membranes (CEMs). A wide analytical study involving scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was accomplished to corroborate that the in situ generated AgNPs were uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix. In addition, as a result of the proposed synthesis strategy, the cross-linking structure inside the membrane was formed. The proper particle size and dispersibility of the AgNPs improved the mechanical properties of the membranes. Besides, the optimal AgNP-loaded CEM exhibited excellent bacterial killing activities against Gram-negative bacteria and showed a controlled improvement in the electrochemical performance of the prepared membranes. These effects were caused by the obtained distribution of AgNPs near ion-exchange groups that increased the aggregation of water molecules around them, improving the efficiency of ion transport due the formation of array broad ion-transport channels. The optimized CEM [sulfonated polysulfone (60SPSF)-C3#-Ag-2] exhibited an enhanced NaCl removal ratio of 67.5% with a high current efficiency (96.9%) and a low energy consumption (5.84 kWh kg-1). The distance of the inhibition zone from the boundary of the membrane of SPSF-C3#-Ag-2 reached 4.8 mm. These results led us to suggest that the proposed synthesis strategy may have potential applications in the field of antibacterial and desalting ion-exchange membranes.

Abstract
: Bacterial biofilm on medical devices is difficult to eradicate. Many have capitalized the anti-infective capability of silver ions (Ag+) by incorporating nano-silver (nAg) in a biodegradable coating, which is then laid on polymeric medical devices. However, such coating can be subjected to premature dissolution, particularly in harsh diseased tissue microenvironment, leading to rapid nAg clearance. It stands to reason that impregnating nAg directly onto the device, at the surface, is a more ideal solution. We tested this concept for a corneal prosthesis by immobilizing nAg and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) on poly(methyl methacrylate), and tested its biocompatibility with human stromal cells and antimicrobial performance against biofilm-forming pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Three different dual-functionalized substrates-high Ag (referred to as 75:25 HAp:Ag); intermediate Ag (95:5 HAp:Ag); and low Ag (99:1 HAp:Ag) were studied. The 75:25 HAp:Ag was effective in inhibiting biofilm formation, but was cytotoxic. The 95:5 HAp:Ag showed the best selectivity among the three substrates; it prevented biofilm formation of both pathogens and had excellent biocompatibility. The coating was also effective in eliminating non-adherent bacteria in the culture media. However, a 28-day incubation in artificial tear fluid revealed a ~40% reduction in Ag+ release, compared to freshly-coated substrates. The reduction affected the inhibition of S. aureus growth, but not the P. aeruginosa. Our findings suggest that Ag+ released from surface-immobilized nAg diminishes over time and becomes less effective in suppressing biofilm formation of Gram-positive bacteria, such as S. aureus. This advocates the coating, more as a protection against perioperative and early postoperative infections, and less as a long-term preventive solution.

Abstract
Polyamide TFC membranes are widely applied in membrane-based water treatment but generally suffer various fouling problems. In this work, the layer-by-layer assembly of phytic acid (PA) and metal ions (M) is constructed on the surface TFC membrane for the first time, to improve the bio/organic fouling resistances and separation performance of TFC membranes simultaneously. The PA molecule with six phosphonic acid groups of strong chelation ability acts as the organic ligand, and the metal ion acts as the inorganic cross-linker, inducing the assembly of hydrophilic and antibacterial PA-M (Ag or Cu) complexes on the TFC membrane surface. Various characterizations including FTIR, XPS, SEM, AFM, and EDX are employed to confirm the successful and uniform modification of PA-M. FO performance of the PA-M modified TFC membranes, i.e., TFC_PA-Ag and TFC_PA-Cu, is optimized by varying PA concentration and assembly cycles, where the water flux can be improved by 57% and 68%, respectively, without compromising the membrane selectivity. Additionally, the PA-M modification improves the biofouling and organic fouling resistances of the TFC membrane remarkably, owing to the enhanced antibacterial ability and hydrophilicity. The modified TFC membranes are also proven to show the excellent stability by the quantitative release test.

Abstract
A novel reverse osmosis (RO) composite membrane, poly(amide-urethane-imide@Ag) (PAUI@Ag), was prepared on a polysulfone supporting film through two-step interfacial polymerization. First, in the 1st interfacial polymerization procedure, a new tri-functional crosslinking agent with –OCOCl and –COCl groups, 5-choroformyloxyisophaloyl chloride (CFIC), was reacted with 4-methyl-phenylenediamine (MMPD) without curing treatment to obtain the poly(amide-urethane) base membrane with a CFIC–MMPD precursor separation layer. And then N,N′-dimethyl-m-phenylenediamine (DMMPD) with nano-Ag particle dispersion was introduced onto the base membrane to further construct a CFIC–DMMPD modified ultrathin separation layer via the 2nd interfacial polymerization. Thus, the PAUI@Ag RO membrane with poly(amide-urethane-imide) bi-layer skin was obtained. The membrane was characterized for the chemical composition of separation layer, the membrane cross-section structure and the membrane surface morphology. Permeation experiment was employed to evaluate the PAUI@Ag membrane performance including salt rejection rate and water flux. The results revealed that the PAUI@Ag membrane composed the highly cross-linked separation layer with entire ridges and valleys, small surface roughness, and well dispersed nano-Ag particles. Upon exposure of the membranes to high concentration of free chlorine solutions, the PAUI@Ag RO membrane showed a slightly less chlorine-resistant property compared with the nascent PAUI RO membrane, but was still superior to the conventional polyamide MPD-TMC RO membrane, meanwhile it processed higher anti-biofouling property. A novel reverse osmosis (RO) composite membrane, poly(amide-urethane-imide@Ag) (PAUI@Ag), was prepared on a polysulfone supporting film through two-step interfacial polymerization.![]()

Abstract
The worldwide water crisis and water pollution have put forward great challenges to the current membrane technology. Although poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) porous membranes can find diverse applications for water treatments, the inherent hydrophilicity must be tuned for an energy-/time-saving process. Herein, the surface wettability of PVDF membranes transforming from highly hydrophobicity to highly hydrophilicity was realized via one-step reaction of plant-derived phenol gallic acid and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane in aqueous solutions. The surface hydrophilicization can be achieved on porous PVDF membranes by virtue of integration of a mussel-inspired coating and in situ silicification via a "pyrogallol-amino covalent bridge" toward excellent antifouling performance and highly efficient infiltration ability for oily emulsion and protein wastewater treatment. The water flux of a surface-manipulated microfiltration membrane can reach ca. 9246 L m-2 h-1 (54-fold increment compared to that of pristine membrane), oil rejection >99.5% in a three-cycle emulsion separation; the modified ultrafiltration membrane demonstrated benign performance in bovine serum albumin protein interception (rejection as high as ca. 96.6% with water flux of ca. 278.2 L m-2 h-1) and antifouling potential (increase of ca. 70.8%). Our in situ biomimetic silicification under "green" conditions exhibits the great potential of the developed strategy in fabrication of similar multifunctional membranes toward environmental remediation.

Abstract
Forward osmosis (FO) has gained increasing attention in desalination, wastewater treatment, and power generation. However, biofouling remains a major obstacle for the sustainable development of the FO process. Both passive and active strategies have been developed to mitigate membrane biofouling. A comprehensive understanding of different strategies and mechanisms has fundamental significance for the antifouling membrane development. In this study, thin-film composite (TFC) FO membranes were modified with polydopamine (PDA) coating as a passive antibacterial moiety and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) as an active antibacterial moiety. Their anti-biofouling performances were investigated both in static and dynamic conditions. In static exposure, the PDA-coated membranes exhibited great passive anti-adhesive property, and the Ag-NP-generated membranes presented both of excellent passive anti-adhesive properties and active antibacterial performance. While in dynamic cross-flow running conditions, Ag NPs effectively mitigated the membrane water flux decline due to their inhibition of biofilm growth, the PDA coating failed because of its inability to inactivate the attached bacteria growth. Moreover, Ag NPs were stable and active on membrane surfaces after 24 h of cross-flow operation. These findings provide new insights into the performances and mechanisms of passive and active moieties in the FO process.

Abstract
Infections caused by bacteria are a growing global challenge for public health as bacteria develop resistance, which will cause the failure of anti-infective treatment eventually. An effective alternative strategy to traditional antibacterial therapy is utilizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill bacteria. Here, we report a simple route to prepare PEGylated nitrogen-doped carbon capsules (PEG-N-CCs) as an antibacterial agent. The PEG-N-CCs can translate near-infrared light (NIR) into heat and produce a high concentration of ROS triggered by NIR irradiation. Both heating and ROS are critical to destroy the outer membranes and rupture cell bodies, causing DNA fragmentation and glutathione oxidation both in Gram-negative Escherichia coli, Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, and their multidrug-resistant strains. Moreover, PEG-N-CCs plus NIR irradiation can efficiently scavenge the existing biofilms and prevent the formation of new biofilms, killing planktonic bacteria as well as those within the biofilm. Our studies prove that the PEG-N-CCs plus NIR irradiation can provide a simple and effective platform for combating bacteria, employing carbon nanomaterials as an antibacterial alternative for treatment of infectious diseases.
