J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 666:393-402. [PMID: 38603881 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
Humic acids (HA) are ubiquitous in surface waters, leading to significant fouling challenges. While zwitterion-like and zwitterionic surfaces have emerged as promising candidates for antifouling, a quantitative understanding of molecular interaction mechanism, particularly at the nanoscale, still remains elusive. In this work, the intermolecular forces between HA and charged, zwitterion-like or zwitterionic monolayers in aqueous environments were quantified using atomic force microscope. Compared to cationic MTAC ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride), which exhibited an adhesion energy of ∼1.342 mJ/m2 with HA due to the synergistic effect of electrostatic attraction and possible cation-π interaction, anionic SPMA (3-sulfopropyl methacrylate) showed a weaker adhesion energy (∼0.258 mJ/m2) attributed to the electrostatic repulsion. Zwitterion-like MTAC/SPMA mixture, driven by electrostatic attraction between opposite charges, formed a hydration layer that prevented the interaction with HA, thereby considerably reducing adhesion energy to ∼0.123 mJ/m2. In contrast, zwitterionic MPC (2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) and DMAPS ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide) displayed ultralow adhesion energy (0.06-0.07 mJ/m2) with HA, arising from their strong dipole moments which could induce a tight hydration layer that effectively inhibited HA fouling. The pH-mediated electrostatic interaction resulted in the increased adhesion energy for MTAC but decreased adhesion energy for SPMA with elevated pH, while the adhesion energy for zwitterion-like and zwitterionic surfaces was independent of environmental pH. Density functional theory (DFT) simulation confirmed the strong binding capability of MPC and DMAPS with water molecules (∼-12 kcal mol-1). This work provides valuable insights into the molecular interaction mechanisms underlying humic-substance-fouling resistance of charged, zwitterion-like and zwitterionic materials at the nanoscale, shedding light on developing more effective strategy for HA antifouling in water treatment.

Acta Biomater 2024; 175:76-105. [PMID: 38128641 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.12.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
Liquid separation methods are widely used in industrial and everyday applications, however, their applicability is often constrained by low efficiency, membrane fouling, and poor energy efficiency. Herein, a conceptually novel liquid-infused interfacial floatable porous membrane (LIIFPM) system for high-performance oil/water separation is proposed. The system functions by allowing a liquid to wet and fill a superamphiphilic porous membrane, thereby creating a stable liquid-infused interface that floats at the oil/water interface and prevents the passage of immiscible liquids. The lower-layer liquid can outflow directly, while the flow of the upper-layer liquid is stopped by the membrane. Remarkably, the efficiency of the LIIFPM system is independent of the membrane pore size, enabling ultrafast immiscible oil/water separation in an energy-saving and antifouling manner.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Conventional coating strategies and materials for bio-applications with protective, diagnostic, and therapeutic functions are commonly limited by their arduous preparation processes and lack of on-demand functionalities. Herein, inspired by the 'root-leaf' structure of grass, a series of novel polyacrylate-conjugated proteins can be engineered with sticky bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein as a 'root' anchoring layer and a multifunctional polyacrylate as a 'leaf' functional layer for the facile coating procedure and versatile surface functionalities. EXPERIMENTS The engineered proteins were synthesized based on click chemistry, where the 'root' layer can universally anchor onto both organic and inorganic substrates through a facile dip/spraying method with excellent stability in harsh solution conditions, thanks to its multiple adaptive molecular interactions with substrates that further elucidated by molecular force measurements between the 'root' BSA protein and substrates. The 'leaf' conjugated-polyacrylates imparted coatings with versatile on-demand functionalities, such as resistance to over 99% biofouling in complex biofluids, pH-responsive performance, and robust adhesion with various nanomaterials. FINDINGS By synergistically leveraging the universal anchoring capabilities of BSA with the versatile physicochemical properties of polyacrylates, this study introduces a promising and facile strategy for imparting novel functionalities to a myriad of surfaces through engineering natural proteins and biomaterials for biotechnical and nanotechnical applications.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Surface interactions of bubbles and oil with interface-active species like asphaltenes influence many interfacial phenomena in various engineering processes. It holds both fundamental and practical significance to quantitatively characterize these interactions. EXPERIMENTS The surface forces of air bubbles, asphaltenes and asphaltenes-toluene droplets in various aqueous solutions have been quantified using an integrated thin film drainage apparatus and an atomic force microscope coupled with bubble probe. The effects of asphaltenes concentration, pH, salinity, Ca2+ ions and surfactants have been examined. FINDINGS Hydrophobic interaction drives attachment of bubbles and asphaltenes surfaces or oil droplets under high salinity condition. Increasing asphaltenes concentration in oil droplets enhances their hydrophobic attraction with bubbles due to strengthened asphaltenes adsorption and aggregation at oil-water interface. Increasing pH weakens the hydrophobic interaction as oil surfaces become more negatively charged and less hydrophobic. Under low salinity condition, strong electrical double layer and van der Waals repulsion inhibits the bubble-oil droplet contact. Introducing Ca2+ ions and surfactants leads to strong steric repulsion, preventing bubble-oil contact. This research has advanced our mechanistic understanding of how bubbles and oil droplets interact in aqueous systems and offers useful insights to modulate such interactions in oil production, water treatment and other interfacial processes.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 449:131012.

Abstract
Oil contamination has been an increasingly concerned environmental issue due to the large quantity of oily wastewater discharged by the industry. The extreme wettability-enabled single-channel separation strategy guarantees efficient separation of oil pollutant from wastewater. However, the ultra-high selective permeability forces the intercepted oil pollutant to form a blocking layer, which weakens the separation capability and slows the kinetics of permeable phase. As a consequence, the single-channel separation strategy fails to maintain a stable flux for a long-term separation process. Herein, we reported a brand-new water-oil dual-channels strategy for accomplishing an ultra-stable long-term separation of emulsified oil pollutant from oil-in-water nano-emulsion by engineering two drastically opposite extreme wettabilities (i.e. superhydrophilicity and superhydrophobicity) to build the water-oil dual-channels. The strategy established the superwetting transport channels to permit water and oil pollutant to permeate through their own channel. In this way, the generation of intercepted oil pollutant was prevented, which guaranteed an exceptional long-lasting (20 h) anti-fouling performance for successful achievement of an ultra-stable separation of oil contamination from oil-in-water nano-emulsion with high flux retention and high separation efficiency. Therefore, our investigations provided a new route for realizing ultra-stable long-term separation of emulsified oil pollutant from wastewater.

Abstract
To survive underwater even in severely hypoxic water for a long period, the water spider has to periodically collect and replenish air into the diving bell. Inspired by this natural air-replenishing strategy, a water spider-inspired nanofiber (WSN) coating with underwater superaerophilicity displaying excellent and sustainable scalephobic capability is prepared. Air film on the WSN coating can be well-kept and further employed as the barrier layer for scale repellence. Significantly, scalephobic capability of the WSN coating mainly originates from two aspects: inhibiting interfacial nucleation and reducing interfacial adhesion of scale. Compared with previous studies, this WSN coating achieves excellent and sustainable scale repellence (≈ 98% reduction in scale deposition) even after a one-month dynamic scaling test. Thus, this air-replenishing strategy may raise a new avenue for advanced long-term scalephobic materials.

Abstract
Implantable medical devices have been widely applied in diagnostics, therapeutics, organ restoration, and other biomedical areas, but often suffer from dysfunction and infections due to irreversible biofouling. Inspired by the self-defensive "vine-thorn" structure of climbing thorny plants, a zwitterion-conjugated protein is engineered via grafting sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) segments on native bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein molecules for surface coating and antifouling applications in complex biological fluids. Unlike traditional synthetic polymers of which the coating operation requires arduous surface pretreatments, the engineered protein BSA@PSBMA (PolySBMA conjugated BSA) can achieve facile and surface-independent coating on various substrates through a simple dipping/spraying method. Interfacial molecular force measurements and adsorption tests demonstrate that the substrate-foulant attraction is significantly suppressed due to strong interfacial hydration and steric repulsion of the bionic structure of BSA@PSBMA, enabling coating surfaces to exhibit superior resistance to biofouling for a broad spectrum of species including proteins, metabolites, cells, and biofluids under various biological conditions. This work provides an innovative paradigm of using native proteins to generate engineered proteins with extraordinary antifouling capability and desired surface properties for bioengineering applications.

Abstract
Materials require specific surface structures to achieve the best performance, but achieving an optimal structural design requires a systematic study of how structure affects performance. In this work, we comprehensively and systematically investigated the structure-activity relationship between the nanowire structure and the oil dewetting self-cleaning performance. It is easy for an oil droplet to enter this structure, but it is difficult for it to escape from the gaps between the structures even under the action of water. So, the oil dewetting ability is greatly reduced, showing that this "easy to enter and difficult to exit" mode is very disadvantageous for oil desorption. Moreover, if the structure is dissolved during the test, the oil dewetting ability will be restored. The desorption effect is affected by structural parameters and reaction conditions, which further verifies the negative effect of this structure. In contrast, copper(II) oxide nanowires completely lose their self-cleaning ability due to the enhancement of hydrophobicity and oleophilicity, and the larger-diameter copper(II) oxalate nanorods exhibit a "difficult to enter and difficult to exit" mode, leading to the partial recovery of the oil dewetting performance. This study helps us deeply understand the influence of the surface microstructure on the oil dewetting performance and lay a solid foundation for further appropriate structural design.

Abstract
We examined the effects of alkyl carbon spacer length (CSL) and molecular weight on fouling resistance and release properties of zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) brushes. Using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization, we synthesized two series of brushes with CSL = 3 and 4 and molecular weight from 19 to 1500 kg ·mol-1, corresponding to dry brush thickness from around 6 to 180 nm. The brush with CSL = 3 was nearly completely wet with water (independent of molecular weight), whereas the brush with CSL = 4 exhibited a strong increase in water contact angle with molecular weight. Though the two-brush series had distinct wetting properties, both series of brushes exhibited similarly great resistance against fouling by Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria and Aspergillus niger fungi spores when submerged in water, indicating that neither molecular weight nor CSL strongly affected the antifouling behavior. We also compared the efficacy of brushes against fouling by fungi and silicon oil in air. Brushes grafted to filter paper were strongly fouled by fungi and silicon oil in air. Grafting the polymers to the filter paper, however, greatly enhanced removal of the foulant upon rinsing. The removal of fungi and silicon oil when rinsed with a salt solution was enhanced by 219 and 175%, respectively, as compared to a blank filter paper control. Thus, our results indicate that these zwitterionic brushes can promote foulant removal for dry applications in addition to their well-known fouling resistance in submerged conditions.

Abstract
Development of polymer-based flooding technology to improve oil recovery efficiency, water dispersion copolymerization of acrylamide, cationic monomer methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC), and anionic monomer acrylic acid (AA) were carried out in aqueous ammonium sulfate solution with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as the stabilizer. The copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, FT-IR, TG, and SEM to confirm that they were prepared successfully and exhibited excellent salt-resistant property. Moreover, the effect of the aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate (AS) concentration, stabilizer concentration, and initiator concentration on the viscosity and size were systematically investigated. To further improve the thermal endurance properties of copolymer, hydrophobic monomers with different alkyl chain lengths were added to the above system. The acrylamide-based quadripolymer possessed prominent thermal and salt endurance properties by utilizing the advantages of zwitterionic structure and hydrophobic monomer. With the temperature rising, the viscosity retention could reach 70.2% in the water and 63.8% in the saline. This work had expected to provide a new strategy to design polymers with excellent salinity tolerance and thermal-resistance performances.

Abstract
The term "zwitterionic polymers" refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally distributed at the molecular level, the molecules exhibit an overall neutral charge with a strong hydration effect via ionic solvation. The strong hydration effect constitutes the foundation of a series of exceptional properties of zwitterionic materials, including resistance to protein adsorption, lubrication at interfaces, promotion of protein stabilities, antifreezing in solutions, etc. As a result, zwitterionic materials have drawn great attention in biomedical and engineering applications in recent years. In this review, we give a comprehensive and panoramic overview of zwitterionic materials, covering the fundamentals of hydration and nonfouling behaviors, different types of zwitterionic surfaces and polymers, and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
The development of high-flux, durable and completely self-cleaning membranes is highly desired for separation of massive oil/water mixtures. Herein, differently crosslinked poly(2-methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) brush grafted stainless steel mesh (SSM) membranes (SSM/PMPCs) were fabricated by integrating of mussel inspired universal adhesion and crosslinking chemistry with surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ARGET-ATRP). The durability and self-cleaning performance of the prepared SSM membranes were evaluated by separating sticky crude oil/water mixtures in a continuous recycling dead-end filtration device. The water filtration flux driven by gravity reached 60,000 L⋅m-2⋅h-1 with a separation efficiency of over 99.98%. Furthermore, zero-flux-decline was observed during a 5 h continuous filtration when assisted by mechanical stirring. More significantly, such a completely self-cleaning separation of the well crosslinked SSM/PMPC2 membrane under optimized flux and stirring conditions had been operated cumulatively for 190 h in 30 days without any additional cleaning. These significant advances are more promising for practical applications in crude oil-contaminated water treatments and massive oil/water mixture separation.

Abstract
Recent advancements in separation and membrane technologies have shown a great potential in removing oil from wastewaters effectively. In addition, the capabilities have improved to fabricate membranes with tunable properties in terms of their wettability, permeability, antifouling, and mechanical properties that govern the treatment of oily wastewaters. Herein, authors have critically reviewed the literature on membrane technology for oil/water separation with a specific focus on: 1) membrane properties and characterization, 2) development of various materials (e.g., organic, inorganic, and hybrid membranes, and innovative materials), 3) membranes design (e.g., mixed matrix nanocomposite and multilayers), and 4) membrane fabrication techniques and surface modification techniques. The current challenges and future research directions in materials and fabrication techniques for membrane technology applications in oil/water separation are also highlighted. Thus, this review provides helpful guidance toward finding more effective, practical, and scalable solutions to tackle environmental pollution by oils.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent research on the design of polymer material systems based on biomimetic concepts and reports on the medical devices that implement these systems. Biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and phospholipids, present in living organisms, play important roles in biological activities. These molecules are characterized by heterogenic nature with hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, and a balance of positive and negative charges, which provide unique reaction fields, interfaces, and functionality. Incorporating these molecules into artificial systems is expected to advance material science considerably. This approach to material design is exceptionally practical for medical devices that are in contact with living organisms. Here, it is focused on zwitterionic polymers with intramolecularly balanced charges and introduce examples of their applications in medical devices. Their unique properties make these polymers potential surface modification materials to enhance the performance and safety of conventional medical devices. This review discusses these devices; moreover, new surface technologies have been summarized for developing human-friendly medical devices using zwitterionic polymers in the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, orthopedic, and ophthalmology fields.

Abstract
Oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion is one type of oily wastewater produced by many industries. The treatment of and resource recovery from O/W emulsions are very challenging. Unlike bulk or floating oil, which can be successfully abstracted from wastewater by hydrophobic/oleophilic materials, the abstraction of emulsified oil is not easy because of its highly hydrophilic surface composed of dense surfactants. Separate reclamation of miscible oil and surfactant through a green approach is even more difficult. Here, we report that a CO2-responsive material can abstract emulsified oil and demulsify the oil droplets. Moreover, it can release the abstracted oil and surfactant separately. This material exhibited a very high adsorption capacity for emulsified oil (14 g g-1). Upon switching the surface wettability of the material under CO2 or synthetic flue gas sparging, coalesced oil was reclaimed while the surfactant was retained inside the pores. The hydrophobic character of the material was retrieved when CO2 was purged with nitrogen sparging or air heating. Then, the surfactant was reclaimed by elution with diluted alkali/ethanol. Oil and surfactant were thus separately reclaimed from the O/W emulsion. High rates of oil removal, oil recovery, and surfactant recovery were maintained during repeated adsorption/desorption operations. This work provides a potentially sustainable and green way for O/W emulsion treatment and resource recovery.

Abstract
Hydrophobic interaction plays an important role in numerous interfacial phenomena and biophysical and industrial processes. In this work, polystyrene (PS) was used as a model hydrophobic polymer for investigating its hydrophobic interaction with highly deformable objects (i.e., air bubbles and oil droplets) in aqueous solutions. The effects of polymer molecular weight, solvent (i.e., addition of ethanol to water), the presence of surface-active species, and hydrodynamic conditions were investigated, via direct surface force measurements using the bubble/drop probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique and theoretical calculations based on the Reynolds lubrication theory and augmented Young-Laplace equation by including the effect of disjoining pressure. It was found that the PS of low molecular weight (i.e., PS590 and PS810) showed slightly weaker hydrophobic interactions with air bubbles or oil droplets, as compared to glassy PS of higher molecular weight (i.e., PS1110, PS2330, PS46300, and PS1M). The hydrophobic interaction between PS and air bubbles in a 1 M NaCl aqueous solution with 10 vol % ethanol was weaker than that in the bare aqueous solution. Such effects on the hydrophobic interactions are possibly achieved by influencing the structuring/ordering of water molecules close to the hydrophobic polymer surfaces by tuning the surface chain mobility and surface roughness of polymers. It was found that the addition of three surface-active species, i.e., cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), Pluronic F-127, and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), to the aqueous media could suppress the attachment of the hydrophobic polymer and air bubbles or oil droplets, most likely caused by the additional steric repulsion due to the adsorbed surface-active species at the bubble/polymer/oil interfaces. Our results have improved the fundamental understanding of the interaction mechanisms between hydrophobic polymers and gas bubbles or oil droplets, with useful implications on developing effective methods for modulating the related interfacial interactions in many engineering applications.

High-efficiency and durable removal of water-in-heavy oil emulsions enabled by delignified and carboxylated basswood with zwitterionic nanohydrogel coatings. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 612:445-458. [PMID: 34999549 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.12.146] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2021] [Revised: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
HYPOTHESIS It is hypothesized that grafting zwitterionic nanohydrogel (ZNG) helps to achieve anti-asphaltene properties on cellulosic substrates, thus overcoming the fouling issue of natural cellulosic materials for treating oily emulsions. It is also hypothesized that ZNG coatings enhance the water-binding affinity of the substrates, resulting in an outstanding water-removal performance on asphaltene-stabilized emulsions with long-term stability. EXPERIMENTS A cellulosic substrate was derived from nature basswood via a sequence of delignification and carboxylation processes. The ZNG-DBS composite was then developed by esterification to covalently graft ZNGs on the inner channels of the substrate. The water-binding affinity, wettability, water-removal performance for treating water in asphaltene-stabilized emulsions were evaluated via characterizing the filtration/absorption, and anti-fouling mechanism of the ZNG-DBS. FINDINGS ZNG coatings enhance the hydration capability of the basswood substrate, allowing it to absorb water emulsion droplets protected by asphaltenes in the oil medium without being contaminated. Moreover, superior and stable removal capabilities were achieved by using this unique material to treat asphaltenes-stabilized water-in-oil emulsions with the water residue content of <1.0 and ∼0.065 wt% via cyclic filtration and absorption tests, respectively. Our results demonstrate the successful conversion of widely accessible wood resources to functional materials with great potential in the practical treatment of oily wastewater.

Abstract
Efficient micron-sized droplet separation materials have become a new demand for environmental protection and economic development. However, existing separation methods are difficult to be effectively used for micron-sized water droplets surrounded by viscous oil, and common materials have difficulty maintaining hydrophilicity underoil. Here, inspired by the microstructure of tree xylem, we report a cellulose-polyurethane sponge (CP-Sponge) with wood-like pores and underoil superhydrophilicity using directional freeze-casting. The CP-Sponge has an excellent selective water absorption capacity underoil and compression resilience. This preparation strategy can flexibly control the sponge's dimensional morphology. The designed cylindrical CP-Sponge can be easily installed in the silicone tube of a peristaltic pump. During pump operation, with a simple absorption, compression, and recovery process, the CP-Sponge continuously and effectively removes micron-sized water from crude oil and lubricating oil, reducing residual water in the oil to less than 2 ppm. The absorption-saturated sponge can be dried to continue recycling. Eco-friendly, recyclable, and sustainable artificial porous sponges provide new ideas and inspiration for the practical application of deep dehydration of viscous oils.

Abstract
A zwitterionic polymeric hair coated stainless steel mesh membrane is fabricated, which demonstrates efficient separation of oil/water mixtures and the emulsions. The hairy coating of poly(divinylbenzene-co-vinylbenzene chloride) (P(DVB-co-VBC)) is generated by precipitation cationic polymerization, and subsequent grafting a zwitterionic polymer layer by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA). Microstructure of the hairy coating is tunable from array of individual nanofibers to porous network by interweaving of the hairs. The long-range attraction of zwitterionic polymer with water renders the coated mesh with excellent superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic performance. The coated mesh is highly antifouling to avoid the pre-hydration in conventional methods. Moreover, the microstructure is demonstrated to be responsible for the high separation efficiency of oil/water emulsion. Therefore, separation of oil/water mixtures and emulsions becomes easier by the coated mesh, which is promising in industrial oil field sewage treatment. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Oily wastewater has become one of the leading causes of environmental pollution. A massive quantity of oily wastewater is released from industries, oil spills, and routine activities, endangering the ecosystem's sustainability. Due to the enormous negative impact, researchers put strenuous efforts into developing a sustainable solution to treat oily wastewater. Microfiltration/ultrafiltration membranes are considered an efficient solution to treat oily wastewater due to their low cost, small footprint, facile operation, and high separation efficiencies. However, membranes severely fouled during the separation process due to oil's adsorption and cake layer formation, which shortens the membranes' life. This review has critically discussed the microfiltration/ultrafiltration membrane synthesizing methods and their emulsion's separation performance. In the end, key challenges and their possible solutions are highlighted to provide future direction to synthesize next-generation membranes.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Transparent superhydrophilic coatings are very promising in various scenarios. Appropriate fabrication of colloid coatings with superhydrophilicity both in air and under oil would enlarge their application potential in anti-oil fouling and facilitate anti-fogging of transparent surfaces. EXPERIMENTS The Barite colloid was obtained from a one-step precipitation method and was transferred onto glasses to prepare transparent coatings with different thicknesses simply by dip-coating. Then, the impact of thickness on wettability and property was studied through the investigation of wettability in various phase, anti-crude oil fouling performance and anti-fogging ability. FINDINGS Similar surface morphology and roughness of these coatings were achieved and all the coated surfaces showed ultra-hydrophilicity both in air and under oil. Moreover, the hydrophilicity in air and under oil was found to deteriorate with the decrease of coatings' thickness and dual superhydrophilicity could be achieved on thick coatings. More importantly, excellent anti-crude oil fouling property and durable anti-fogging ability were realized on these transparent coatings with dual superhydrophilicity.

Abstract
The use of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes is constrained in wastewater treatment because of their hydrophobic nature. Therefore, a large number of researchers have been working on the hydrophilic modification of their surfaces. In this work, a superhydrophilic tea polyphenols/silica composite coating was developed by a one-step process. The composite coating can achieve not only superhydrophilic modification of the surface, but also the inner surface of the porous PVDF membrane, which endows the modified membrane with excellent water permeability. The modified membrane possesses ultrahigh water flux (15,353 L·m−2·h−1). Besides this, the modified membrane can realize a highly efficient separation of oil/water emulsions (above 96%).

Abstract
We report a simple methodology to prepare nano-porous polysulfone membranes using zwitterionic functionalized silica nanogels with high BSA protein rejection and antifouling properties. The zwitterionic silica precursor was prepared by reacting 1,3-propane sultone with 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane under an inert atmosphere. The precursor was in situ hydrolyzed and condensed in the polysulfone nanoporous membrane network by one-pot acidic phase inversion. The prepared membranes were characterized to establish their physicochemical nature, morphology, and basic membrane properties such as permeation, rejection, and recovery. The zwitterionic membranes showed improved hydrophilicity, membrane water uptake (∼83.5%), water permeation, BSA protein rejection (>95%), and dye rejection (congo red: >52% (∼6-fold increase); methylene blue: ∼15% (∼2-fold increase)) were improved without compromising the membrane flux and fouling resistance. Overall, we report an easy fabrication method of efficient nanocomposite zwitterionic ultrafilter membranes for water treatment with excellent flux, protein separation, filtration efficiency, and antifouling behavior.

Abstract
It is of great importance and practical value to develop a facile and operable surface treatment method of materials with excellent antipollution and antiadhesion property, but still a huge challenge. In this work, a series of pseudo-zwitterions are prepared from electrostatic assembly of cationic polyethyleneimine and anionic phosphonic clusters. These pseudo-zwitterionic assemblies provide a strong hydration through electrostatic interaction with water and in turn create a barrier against oil foulants, leading to a nearly zero crude oil adhesion force. The pseudo-zwitterions-decorated surfaces exhibit exceptional water-cleanable oil-repellent property, even when they are completely dried and without prehydration before fouled by crude oil. While using these pseudo-zwitterions-modified polymeric membranes for separating surfactant stabilized oil-in-water emulsion, less than 10% decline of permeating flux is observed throughout a 2-h continuous separation experiment, showing excellent emulsion separation ability and antipollution performance for high viscous oil. The ion pairs called pseudo-zwitterions were constructed by electrostatic self-assembly The pseudo-zwitterions-modified surfaces can repel crude oil without prehydration Pseudo-zwitterionic membrane shows exceptional antioil fouling performance The strategy gives a new way to endow the surfaces with excellent antiadhesion property

Abstract
The global society is in a transition, where dealing with climate change and water scarcity are important challenges. More efficient separations of chemical species are essential to reduce energy consumption and to provide more reliable access to clean water. Here, membranes with advanced functionalities that go beyond standard separation properties can play a key role. This includes relevant functionalities, such as stimuli-responsiveness, fouling control, stability, specific selectivity, sustainability, and antimicrobial activity. Polyelectrolytes and their complexes are an especially promising system to provide advanced membrane functionalities. Here, we have reviewed recent work where advanced membrane properties stem directly from the material properties provided by polyelectrolytes. This work highlights the versatility of polyelectrolyte-based membrane modifications, where polyelectrolytes are not only applied as single layers, including brushes, but also as more complex polyelectrolyte multilayers on both porous membrane supports and dense membranes. Moreover, free-standing membranes can also be produced completely from aqueous polyelectrolyte solutions allowing much more sustainable approaches to membrane fabrication. The Review demonstrates the promise that polyelectrolytes and their complexes hold for next-generation membranes with advanced properties, while it also provides a clear outlook on the future of this promising field.

Multifunctional filtration membrane with anti-viscous-oils-fouling capacity and selective dyes adsorption ability for complex wastewater remediation. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 413:125379. [PMID: 33930952 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2020] [Revised: 01/29/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Multifunctional filtration membranes (MFMs), which can both effectively separate oil and selectively remove dyes from polluted aquatic system with robust anti-viscous-oil-fouling capacity, strong chemical/physical resistance, and long cycled stability, are highly required but still a challenge to be realized. Herein, a simple route has been demonstrated to address this challenge aforementioned by decorating both halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and zwitterionic poly (sulfobetaine methyl methacrylate) (PSBMA) on the microporous polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane surface via modified polydopamine (PDA) coating route. The as-prepared membrane exhibits super-hydrophilic/underwater super-oleophobic performance and high water permeation flux (32529 ± 278 L m-2 h-1 at 0.85 bar) to purify the diverse viscous oil-in-water emulsions from oily wastewater accompanying with good cycled stability (the recovery rate of permeate flux is close to 100% after 5 cycles). Moreover, the as-prepared MFM possesses not only strong chemical resistance under wide range of pH value (from 1 to 12) and high saline (NaCl: 10 wt%) environment, but also physical resistance against ultrasound bath for 30 min. Given the presence of HNTs, PDA, and PSBMA, our MFM shows enough active sites to adsorb the soluble dyes and metallic ions in wastewater. These excellent properties endow our MFM with great potential for the remediation of complex wastewater.
