Abstract
Biomaterials often contain large quantities of water (50-98%), and with the current transition to a more biobased economy, drying these materials will become increasingly important. Contrary to the standard, thermodynamically inefficient chemical and thermal drying methods, dewatering by membrane separation will provide a sustainable and efficient alternative. However, biomaterials can easily foul membrane surfaces, which is detrimental to the performance of current membrane separations. Improving the antifouling properties of such membranes is a key challenge. Other recent research has been dedicated to enhancing the permeate flux and selectivity. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of the design requirements for and recent advances in dewatering of biomaterials using membranes. These recent developments offer a viable solution to the challenges of fouling and suboptimal performances. We focus on two emerging development strategies, which are the use of electric-field-assisted dewatering and surface functionalizations, in particular with hydrogels. Our overview concludes with a critical mention of the remaining challenges and possible research directions within these subfields.

MEMBRANES 2023; 13:549. [PMID: 37367753 DOI: 10.3390/membranes13060549] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
Mesoporous materials based on lyotropic liquid crystal templates with precisely defined and flexible nanostructures offer an alluring solution to the age-old challenge of water scarcity. In contrast, polyamide (PA)-based thin-film composite (TFC) membranes have long been hailed as the state of the art in desalination. They grapple with a common trade-off between permeability and selectivity. However, the tides are turning as these novel materials, with pore sizes ranging from 0.2 to 5 nm, take center stage as highly coveted active layers in TFC membranes. With the ability to regulate water transport and influence the formation of the active layer, the middle porous substrate of TFC membranes becomes an essential player in unlocking their true potential. This review delves deep into the recent advancements in fabricating active layers using lyotropic liquid crystal templates on porous substrates. It meticulously analyzes the retention of the liquid crystal phase structure, explores the membrane fabrication processes, and evaluates the water filtration performance. Additionally, it presents an exhaustive comparison between the effects of substrates on both polyamide and lyotropic liquid crystal template top layer-based TFC membranes, covering crucial aspects such as surface pore structures, hydrophilicity, and heterogeneity. To push the boundaries even further, the review explores a diverse array of promising strategies for surface modification and interlayer introduction, all aimed at achieving an ideal substrate surface design. Moreover, it delves into the realm of cutting-edge techniques for detecting and unraveling the intricate interfacial structures between the lyotropic liquid crystal and the substrate. This review is a passport to unravel the enigmatic world of lyotropic liquid crystal-templated TFC membranes and their transformative role in global water challenges.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) has been widely used for manufacturing of bone implants because of its mechanical properties, biological compatibility, and favorable corrosion resistance in biological environments. However, Ti implants are prone to infection (peri-implantitis) by bacteria which in extreme cases necessitate painful and costly revision surgeries. An emerging, viable solution for this problem is to use copper (Cu) as an antibacterial agent in the alloying system of Ti. The addition of copper provides excellent antibacterial activities, but the underpinning mechanisms are still obscure. This review sheds light on such mechanisms and reviews how incorporation of Cu can render Ti–Cu implants with antibacterial activity. The review first discusses the fundamentals of interactions between bacteria and implanted surfaces followed by an overview of the most common engineering strategies utilized to endow an implant with antibacterial activity. The underlying mechanisms for antibacterial activity of Ti–Cu implants are then discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to contact killing mechanisms because the misinterpretation of this mechanism is the root of discrepancies in the literature.

Abstract
The application of membrane processes in various fields has now undergone accelerated developments, despite the presence of some hurdles impacting the process efficiency. Fouling is arguably the main hindrance for a wider implementation of polymeric membranes, particularly in pressure-driven membrane processes, causing higher costs of energy, operation, and maintenance. Radiation induced graft copolymerization (RIGC) is a powerful versatile technique for covalently imparting selected chemical functionalities to membranes' surfaces, providing a potential solution to fouling problems. This article aims to systematically review the progress in modifications of polymeric membranes by RIGC of polar monomers onto membranes using various low- and high-energy radiation sources (UV, plasma, γ-rays, and electron beam) for fouling prevention. The feasibility of the modification method with respect to physico-chemical and antifouling properties of the membrane is discussed. Furthermore, the major challenges to the modified membranes in terms of sustainability are outlined and the future research directions are also highlighted. It is expected that this review would attract the attention of membrane developers, users, researchers, and scientists to appreciate the merits of using RIGC for modifying polymeric membranes to mitigate the fouling issue, increase membrane lifespan, and enhance the membrane system efficiency.

Abstract
In this study, the bottleneck challenge of membrane fouling is addressed via establishing a scalable concentration polarization (CP) enabled and surface-selective hydrogel coating using zwitterionic cross-linkable macromolecules as building blocks. First, a novel methacrylate-based copolymer with sulfobetain and methacrylate side groups was prepared in a simple three-step synthesis. Polymer gelation initiated by a redox initiator system (ammonium persulfate and tetramethylethylenediamine) for radical cross-linking was studied in bulk in order to identify minimum ("critical") concentrations to obtain a hydrogel. In situ reactive coating of a polyamide nanofiltration membrane was achieved via filtration of a mixture of the reactive compounds, utilizing CP to meet critical gelation conditions solely within the boundary layer. Because the feasibility was studied and demonstrated in dead-end filtration mode, the variable extent of CP was estimated in the frame of the film model, with an iterative calculation using experimental data as input. This allowed to discuss the influence of parameters such as solution composition or filtration rate on the actual polymer concentration and resulting hydrogel formation at the membrane surface. The zwitterionic hydrogel-coated membranes exhibited lower surface charge and higher flux during protein filtration, both compared to pristine membranes. Salt rejection was found to remain unchanged. Results further reveal that the hydrogel coating thickness and consequently the reduction in membrane permeance due to the coating can be tuned by variation of filtration time and polymer feed concentration, illustrating the novel modification method's promising potential for scale-up to real applications.

Abstract
To synthesize evenly grafted copolymers, gamma radiation of homogeneous solutions was employed to graft poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (PEGMA) onto polyethersulfone (PES). The grafting was verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the degrees of grafting (DGs) were determined by elementary analysis. The PES-g-polyPEGMA copolymers with different DGs were obtained by changing the monomer concentration. Membranes were cast from pristine PES, PES/PEG blends, and PES-g-polyPEGMA with different DGs, respectively, via nonsolvent-induced phase separation. Results from water contact angle measurements and scanning electron microscopy analysis indicated that increasing DGs led to PES-g-polyPEGMA membranes with increasing hydrophilicity and porousness. Filtration experimental results showed that increasing DGs without adding pore-forming agents caused PES-g-polyPEGMA membranes with higher permeability. Compared with PES/PEG membranes with analogous permeation characteristics, in which PEG is added as a pore-forming agent, PES-g-polyPEGMA membranes exhibited superior antifouling properties.

Abstract
Mechanistic details about how local physicochemistry of porous interfaces drives protein transport mechanisms are necessary to optimize biomaterial applications. Cross-linked hydrogels made of stimuli-responsive polymers have potential for active protein capture and release through tunable steric and chemical transformations. Simultaneous monitoring of dynamic changes in both protein transport and interfacial polymer structure is an experimental challenge. We use single-particle tracking (SPT) and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy Super-resolution Optical Fluctuation Imaging (fcsSOFI) to relate the switchable changes in size and structure of a pH-responsive hydrogel to the interfacial transport properties of a model protein, lysozyme. SPT analysis reveals the reversible switching of protein transport dynamics in and at the hydrogel polymer in response to pH changes. fcsSOFI allows us to relate tunable heterogeneity of the hydrogels and pores to reversible changes in the distribution of confined diffusion and adsorption/desorption. We find that physicochemical heterogeneity of the hydrogels dictates protein confinement and desorption dynamics, particularly at pH conditions in which the hydrogels are swollen.

Abstract
In this paper, novel zwitterionic graphene oxide (GO) nanohybrid was synthesized using monomers [2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (SBMA) and N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBAAm) (GO@poly(SBMA-co-MBAAm), and incorporated into polysulfone (PSF) hollow fiber membrane for the effectual rejection of dye from the wastewater. The synthesized nanohybrid was characterized using FT-IR, PXRD, TGA, EDX, TEM and zeta potential analysis. The occurrence of nanohybrid on the membrane matrix and the elemental composition were analyzed by XPS. The as-prepared tight ultrafiltration hollow fiber membrane exhibited high rejection of reactive black 5 (RB-5, 99%) and reactive orange 16 (RO-16, 74%) at a dye concentration of 10 ppm and pure water flux (PWF) of 49.6 L/m2h. Fabricated nanocomposite membranes were also studied for their efficacy in the removal of both monovalent (NaCl) and divalent salts (Na2SO4). The results revealed that the membrane possesses complete permeation to NaCl with less rejection of Na2SO4 (<5%). In addition, the nanocomposite membrane revealed outstanding antifouling performance with the flux recovery ratio (FRR) of 73% towards bovine serum albumin (BSA). Therefore, the in-house prepared novel nanocomposite membrane is a good candidate for the effective decolorization of wastewater containing dye.

Abstract
Environmental pollution with dyes released from industrial effluent is one of the major and most critical problems in the world. To alleviate this issue, advanced and safe materials with fast and highly efficient dye removal should be designed. Great attention has been paid recently to hydrogels based on polysaccharides such as Arabic Gum (AG) grafted with polyacrylamide (PAM) and polyacrylic acid (PAA). These materials combine the merits of natural polymers such as biodegradability and non-toxicity with the high adsorption ability of PAM and PAA towards cationic dyes such as methylene blue (MB). Many previous works have been done to enhance three-dimensional (3D) structure and swelling ability of the graft copolymers by using a crosslinking agent or even adding nanomaterials as a filler inside the hydrogel matrix. However, these additives may negatively affect the adsorption ability, and few previous studies could reach 2000 mg/g of maximum MB capacity removal within a good period of time. In our work, we synthesized partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide grafted Arabic gum (AG-g-PAM/PAA) to have both amide and carboxylate groups. The modified water dissolved graft product undergoes water in oil (W/O) emulsion using paraffin oil as the continuous phase and Triton X-100 as a stabilizing agent; then, the system was inversed to oil in water (O/W) emulsion by increasing the shear mixing rate and cross-linked using Epichlorohydrin (ECH). The precipitated graft product showed hierarchically interconnected micro and macropores' sponge like shape with fast water swelling and high MB adsorption capacity (2300 mg g-1) after 45 min at near neutral pH conditions.

Abstract
In this study, we show that codeposition of temperature responsive microgels in the foulant cake layer and cleaning of the cake upon stimuli-induced size change of the microgels is an effective method of fouling removal. Humic acid in CaCl2 solution was used as a model foulant and poly( n-isopropylacrylamide) (p(NIPAm)) and poly( n-isopropylacrylamide- co-sulfobetainemethacrylate) (p(NIPAm- co-SBMA)) were used as temperature responsive microgels. Filtrations were done below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and temperature was increased to above the LCST for cleaning. As an extra cleaning a temperature swing of above, below and then again above the LCST was applied. P(NIPAm) was found to be ineffective in cleaning the foulant deposit despite the 20-fold change in its volume with temperature change at LCST. P(NIPAm- co-SBMA) microgels, on the other hand, provided high fouling reversibility on hydrophilic poly(ether sulfone)(PES)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) and hydrophobic PES membranes. Better fouling reversibility with these microgels was observed at low and high solution ionic strength. While the use of microgels alone increased fouling reversibility to some extent, even in the absence of temperature stimulus, 100% reversibility could only be obtained when a temperature switch was applied in the presence of microgels, showing the effect of microgels' volume change in cleaning.

Abstract
Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is regarded as the state-of-the-art technology in separation processes. Surface modification techniques play a critical role in improving the conventional membrane system which is mostly hydrophobic in nature. The hydrophobic nature of membranes is known to cause fouling, resulting in high maintenance costs and shorter lifespan of MBR. Thus, surface grafting aims to improve the hydrophilicity of bio-based membrane systems. This review describes the major surface grafting techniques currently used in membranes, including photo induced grafting, plasma treatment and plasma induced grafting, radiation induced grafting, thermal induced grafting and ozone induced grafting. The advantages and disadvantages of each method is discussed along with their parametric studies. The potential applications of MBR are very promising, but some integral membrane properties could be a major challenge that hinders its wider reach. The fouling issue could be resolved with the surface grafting techniques to achieve better performance of MBRs.

Abstract
Novel hydrogel-modified textiles have been prepared through photografting poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) onto pristine and functionalised polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surfaces. In this work, two types of functionalisation, carboxylation (CPET) and hydrolysis (HPET), were performed to scrutinise the hydrogel grafting efficiency. Basic characterisation of the pristine, functionalised and grafted textiles was carried out via fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses. Then, the functional characteristics of these samples were determined based on the oil staining performance. Functionalisation of the PET textiles via hydrolysis and carboxylation gives rise to different chemical reactivity and interactions on the PET surface. Impressively, the surface formed via hydrolysis functionalisation of PET was found to be more efficient compared to that formed via carboxylation, and the untreated one. The HPET surface was remarkably more hydrophilised and rougher than both the UPET and CPET surfaces. The accessibility of the -OH groups for hydrogen abstraction from HPET has a great impact on the hydrogel grafting onto the HPET surface. All the grafted textiles (PNIPAAm-g-UPET, PNIPAAm-g-CPET and PNIPAAm-g-HPET) demonstrated anti-oil staining behaviour at 27 °C. In particular, PNIPAAm-g-HPET textiles with a high degree of grafting (DG) exhibited the fastest rate for oil to de-stain from the surface. Moreover, the reversible transition of PNIPAAm hydrogels around the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) ∼ 32 °C from hydrophilic to hydrophobic generates switchable surfaces of the textiles with regard to the oil wettability. Specifically, PNIPAAm-g-HPET textiles also displayed the highest degree of wettability switching as a result of having the highest DG. Taken together, the PNIPAAm hydrogels grafted onto PET textiles were significantly enhanced though hydrolysis functionalisation and possessed excellent switchable surfaces toward oil-staining, having great potential to be used for applications in oil and water separation as well as smart textiles.

Abstract
Zwitterion polymers have anti-fouling properties; therefore, grafting new zwitterions to surfaces, particularly as hydrogels, is one of the leading research directions for preventing fouling. Specifically, polyampholytes, polymers of random mixed charged subunits with a net-electric charge, offer a synthetically easy alternative for studying new zwitterions with a broad spectrum of charged moieties. Here, a novel polyampholyte hydrogel was grafted onto the surface of polyethersulfone membrane by copolymerizing a mixture of vinylsulfonic acid (VSA) and [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride (METMAC) as the negatively and positively charged monomers, respectively, using various monomer ratios in the polymerization solution, and with N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. The physicochemical, morphological and anti-fouling properties of the modified membranes were systematically investigated. Hydrophilic hydrogels were successfully grafted using monomers at different molar ratios. A thin-film zwitterion hydrogel (∼90 nm) was achieved at a 3:1 [VSA:METMAC] molar ratio in the polymerization solution. Among all examined membranes, the zwitterion polyampholyte-modified membrane demonstrated the lowest adsorption of proteins, humic acid, and sodium alginate. It also had low fouling and high flux recovery following filtration with a protein or with an extracellular polymeric substance solution. These findings suggest that this polyampholyte hydrogel is applicable as a low fouling surface coating.

Abstract
Simultaneous immobilization and cross-linking of antifouling/low toxic polymers, e.g., poly(ethylenimine) (PEI), dextran (Dex), agarose (Agr), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), PEI-Dex, and PEI-PEG conjugates, and stimuli-responsive copolymers on a porous membrane surface in mild reaction conditions is desirable for the enhancement of hydrophilicity, antifouling character, cytocompatibility, and inducing stimuli-responsive behavior. Grafting to technique is required since the precursors of most of these macromolecules are not amenable to surface-initiated polymerization. In this work, we report a versatile process for the simultaneous immobilization and cross-linking of a library of macromolecules on and into the blend membrane (PVDF-blend) of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and poly(methyl methacrylate)-co-poly(chloromethylstyrene). Sequential nucleophilic substitution reaction between activated halide moieties of the copolymer and amine groups of different macromolecules readily provided series of modified membranes. These membranes exhibited antifouling property superior to that of the unmodified membrane. The effectiveness of this technique has been demonstrated by the immobilization of pH or both pH- and temperature-responsive copolymer on PVDF-blend membrane for responsive separation of poly(ethylene oxide) and bovine serum albumin. Silver nanoparticles were also anchored on the select modified membranes surfaces for the enhancement of antibiofouling property. Our approach is useful to obtain verities of functional membranes and selection of membrane for a particular application.
