Abstract
Membrane technology has emerged as a crucial method for obtaining clean water from unconventional sources in the face of water scarcity. It finds wide applications in wastewater treatment, advanced treatment, and desalination of seawater and brackish water. However, membrane fouling poses a huge challenge that limits the development of membrane-based water treatment technologies. Characterizing the dynamics of membrane fouling is crucial for understanding its development, mechanisms, and effective mitigation. Instrumental techniques that enable in situ or real-time characterization of the dynamics of membrane fouling provide insights into the temporal and spatial evolution of fouling, which play a crucial role in understanding the fouling mechanism and the formulation of membrane control strategies. This review consolidates existing knowledge about the principal advanced instrumental analysis technologies employed to characterize the dynamics of membrane fouling, in terms of membrane structure, morphology, and intermolecular forces. Working principles, applications, and limitations of each technique are discussed, enabling researchers to select appropriate methods for their specific studies. Furthermore, prospects for the future development of dynamic characterization techniques for membrane fouling are discussed, underscoring the need for continued research and innovation in this field to overcome the challenges posed by membrane fouling.

Textural properties and adsorption behavior of Zn-Mg-Al layered double hydroxide upon crystal violet dye removal as a low cost, effective, and recyclable adsorbent. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6435. [PMID: 37081088 PMCID: PMC10119303 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-33142-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/22/2023] Open
Abstract
The preparation of adsorbents plays a vital role in the adsorption method. In particular, many adsorbents with high specific surface areas and unique shapes are essential for the adsorption strategy. A Zn-Mg-Al/layer double hydroxide (LDH) was designed in this study using a simple co-precipitation process. Adsorbent based on Zn-Mg-Al/LDH was used to remove crystal violet (CV) from the wastewater. The impacts of the initial dye concentration, pH, and temperature on CV adsorption performance were systematically examined. The adsorbents were analyzed both before and after adsorption using FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The roughness parameters and surface morphologies of the produced LDH were estimated using 3D SEM images. Under the best conditions (dose of adsorbent = 0.07 g and pH = 9), the maximum adsorption capacity has been achieved. Adsorption kinetics studies revealed that the reaction that led to the adsorption of CV dye onto Zn-Mg-Al/LDH was a pseudo-second-order model. Additionally, intraparticle diffusion suggests that Zn-Mg-Al/LDH has a fast diffusion constant for CV molecules (0.251 mg/(g min1/2)). Furthermore, as predicted by the Langmuir model, the maximal Zn-Mg-Al/LDH adsorption capacity of CV was 64.80 mg/g. The CV dimensionless separation factor (RL) onto Zn-Mg-Al/LDH was 0.769, indicating that adsorption was favorable. The effect of temperature was performed at 25, 35, and 45 °C in order to establish the thermodynamic parameters ∆Ho, ∆So, and ∆Go. The computed values indicated exothermic and spontaneous adsorption processes. The study presented here might be used to develop new adsorbents with enhanced adsorption capabilities for the purpose of protecting the water environment.

Hemocompatibility challenge of membrane oxygenator for artificial lung technology. Acta Biomater 2022; 152:19-46. [PMID: 36089235 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.09.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The artificial lung (AL) technology is one of the membrane-based artificial organs that partly augments lung functions, i.e. blood oxygenation and CO2 removal. It is generally employed as an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) device to treat acute and chronic lung-failure patients, and the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has re-emphasized the importance of this technology. The principal component in AL is the polymeric membrane oxygenator that facilitates the O2/CO2 exchange with the blood. Despite the considerable improvement in anti-thrombogenic biomaterials in other applications (e.g., stents), AL research has not advanced at the same rate. This is partly because AL research requires interdisciplinary knowledge in biomaterials and membrane technology. Some of the promising biomaterials with reasonable hemocompatibility - such as emerging fluoropolymers of extremely low surface energy - must first be fabricated into membranes to exhibit effective gas exchange performance. As AL membranes must also demonstrate high hemocompatibility in tandem, it is essential to test the membranes using in-vitro hemocompatibility experiments before in-vivo test. Hence, it is vital to have a reliable in-vitro experimental protocol that can be reasonably correlated with the in-vivo results. However, current in-vitro AL studies are unsystematic to allow a consistent comparison with in-vivo results. More specifically, current literature on AL biomaterial in-vitro hemocompatibility data are not quantitatively comparable due to the use of unstandardized and unreliable protocols. Such a wide gap has been the main bottleneck in the improvement of AL research, preventing promising biomaterials from reaching clinical trials. This review summarizes the current state-of-the-art and status of AL technology from membrane researcher perspectives. Particularly, most of the reported in-vitro experiments to assess AL membrane hemocompatibility are compiled and critically compared to suggest the most reliable method suitable for AL biomaterial research. Also, a brief review of current approaches to improve AL hemocompatibility is summarized. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The importance of Artificial Lung (AL) technology has been re-emphasized in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. The utmost bottleneck in the current AL technology is the poor hemocompatibility of the polymer membrane used for O2/CO2 gas exchange, limiting its use in the long-term. Unfortunately, most of the in-vitro AL experiments are unsystematic, irreproducible, and unreliable. There are no standardized in-vitro hemocompatibility characterization protocols for quantitative comparison between AL biomaterials. In this review, we tackled this bottleneck by compiling the scattered in-vitro data and suggesting the most suitable experimental protocol to obtain reliable and comparable hemocompatibility results. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first review paper focusing on the hemocompatibility challenge of AL technology.

Abstract
Spheroids have become an essential tool in preclinical cancer research. The uniformity of spheroids is a critical parameter in drug test results. Spheroids form by self-assembly of cells. Hence, the control of homogeneity of spheroids in terms of size, shape, and density is challenging. We developed surface-optimized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) biochip platforms for uniform spheroid formation on-chip. These biochips were surface modified with 10% bovine serum albumin (BSA) to effectively suppress cell adhesion on the PDMS surface. These surface-optimized platforms facilitate cell self-aggregations to produce homogenous non-scaffold-based spheroids. We produced uniform spheroids on these biochips using six different established human cell lines and a co-culture model. Here, we observe that the concentration of the BSA is important in blocking cell adhesion to the PDMS surfaces. Biochips treated with 3% BSA demonstrated cell repellent properties similar to the bare PDMS surfaces. This work highlights the importance of surface modification on spheroid production on PDMS-based microfluidic devices.

Abstract
The nonspecific adsorption of proteins is usually undesirable on solid surfaces as it induces adverse responses, such as platelet adhesion on medical devices, negative signals of biosensors and contamination blockage of filtration membranes. Thus, an important scheme in material science is to design and fabricate protein-repulsive surfaces. Early approaches in this field focused on homogeneous surfaces comprised of single type functionality. Yet, recent researches have demonstrated that surfaces with heterogeneities (chemistry and topography) show promising performance against protein adsorption. In this review, we will summarize the recent achievements and discuss the new perspectives in the research of developing and characterizing heterogeneous surfaces to repel proteins. The protein repulsion mechanisms of different heterogeneous surfaces will also be discussed in details, followed by the perspective and challenge of this emerging field.

Abstract
Protein interactions with surfaces of promising conducting polymers are critical for development of bioapplications. Surfaces of spin-cast and postbaked poly(3-alkylthiophenes), regiorandom P3BT, and regioregular RP3HT are examined prior to and after adsorption of model protein, bovine serum albumin, with time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The multivariate method of principal component analysis applied to ToF-SIMS data maximizes information on subtle differences in surface chemistry: PCA reveals alkyl side chains and conjugated backbones, exposed for RP3HT and P3BT, respectively. Phase imaging AFM shows semicrystalline microstructure of RP3HT and amorphous morphology of P3BT films. A cellular-like pattern of proteins adsorbed on RP3HT develops with coverage to more uniform overlayer, observed always on P3BT. The amount of adsorbed protein, determined by XPS as a function of BSA concentration (up to 10 mg/mL), is ∼21% lower for RP3HT than P3BT (up to 1.1 mg/m(2)). Although PCA differentiates protein from polythiophene, relative protein surface composition evaluated from ToF-SIMS saturates rather than increases with amount of adsorbed BSA from XPS. This reflects ToF-SIMS sensitivity to outermost layer of proteins, enabling multivariate analysis of protein conformation or orientation. PCA distinguishes between amino acids characteristic for external regions of BSA adsorbed to P3BT and RP3HT. These amino acids are identified for P3BT and RP3HT as hydrophilic and hydrophobic, respectively, by relative hydrophobicity of amino acid side chains. Alternative identification with BSA domains fails, pointing to substrate-induced changes in conformation and degree of denaturation rather than orientation of adsorbed protein.

Abstract
Protein adsorption onto polymer surfaces is a very complex, ubiquitous, and integrated process, impacting essential areas of food processing and packaging, health devices, diagnostic tools, and medical products. The nature of protein-surface interactions is becoming much more complicated with continuous efforts toward miniaturization, especially for the development of highly compact protein detection and diagnostic devices. A large body of literature reports on protein adsorption from the perspective of ensemble-averaged behavior on macroscopic, chemically homogeneous, polymeric surfaces. However, protein-surface interactions governing the nanoscale size regime may not be effectively inferred from their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Recently, research efforts have been made to produce periodically arranged, nanoscopic protein patterns on diblock copolymer surfaces solely through self-assembly. Intriguing protein adsorption phenomena are directly probed on the individual biomolecule level for a fundamental understanding of protein adsorption on nanoscale surfaces exhibiting varying degrees of chemical heterogeneity. Insight gained from protein assembly on diblock copolymers can be effectively used to control the surface density, conformation, orientation, and biofunctionality of prebound proteins in highly miniaturized applications, now approaching the nanoscale. This feature article will highlight recent experimental and theoretical advances made on these fronts while focusing on single-biomolecule-level investigations of protein adsorption behavior combined with surface chemical heterogeneity on the length scale commensurate with a single protein. This article will also address advantages and challenges of the self-assembly-driven patterning technology used to produce protein nanoarrays and its implications for ultrahigh density, functional, and quantifiable protein detection in a highly miniaturized format.

Abstract
Although protein adsorption to surface is a common phenomenon, investigation of the process is challenging due to the complexity of the interplay between external factors, protein and surface properties. Therefore experimental approaches have to measure the properties of adsorbed protein layers with high accuracy in order to achieve a comprehensive description of the process. To this end, we used a combination of two biosensing techniques, dual polarization interferometry and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation. From this, we are able to extract surface coverage values, layer structural parameters, water content and viscoelastic properties to examine the properties of protein layers formed at the liquid/solid interface. Layer parameters were examined upon adsorption of proteins of varying size and structural properties, on surfaces with opposite polarity. We show that “soft” proteins such as unfolded α-synuclein and high molecular weight albumin are highly influenced by the surface polarity, as they form a highly diffuse and hydrated layer on the hydrophilic silica surface as opposed to the denser, less hydrated layer formed on a hydrophobic methylated surface. These layer properties are a result of different orientations and packing of the proteins. By contrast, lysozyme is barely influenced by the surface polarity due to its intrinsic structural stability. Interestingly, we show that for a similar molecular weight, the unfolded α-synuclein forms a layer with the highest percentage of solvation not related to surface coverage but resulting from the highest water content trapped within the protein. Together, these data reveal a trend in layer properties highlighting the importance of the interplay between protein and surface for the design of biomaterials.

Abstract
The heat-induced desorption and adsorption of the proteins lysozyme, ribonuclease A, bovine serum albumin, and fibronectin at protein layers was investigated in two different environments: pure buffer and protein solution. Using two different environments allows us to distinguish between thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms in the adsorption process. We observed a desorption in buffer and an adsorption in protein solution, depending upon protein properties, such as size, stability, and charge. We conclude that the desorption in buffer is mainly influenced by the mobility of the proteins at the interface, while the adsorption in protein solution is driven by conformational changes and, thereby, a gain in entropy. These results are relevant for controlling biofilm formation at solid-liquid interfaces.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and molecular size-selective method for the detection of proteins using heteroliganded gold nanoislands and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is described. Two different heteroligands with different chain lengths (3-mercaptopionicacid and decanethiol) were used in fabricating nanoholes for the size-dependent separation of a protein in comparison with its aggregate. Their ratios on gold nanoisland were optimized for the sensitive detection of superoxide dismutase (SOD1). This protein has been implicated in the pathology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Upon exposure of the optimized gold nanoisland to a solution of SOD1 and aggregates thereof, changes in the LSPR spectra were observed which are attributed to the size-selective and covalent chemical binding of SOD1 to the nanoholes. With a lower detection limit of 1.0 ng/ml, the method can be used to selectively detect SOD1 in the presence of aggregates at the molecular level.

Abstract
Protein adsorption at solid surfaces plays a key role in many natural processes and has therefore promoted a widespread interest in many research areas. Despite considerable progress in this field there are still widely differing and even contradictive opinions on how to explain the frequently observed phenomena such as structural rearrangements, cooperative adsorption, overshooting adsorption kinetics, or protein aggregation. In this review recent achievements and new perspectives on protein adsorption processes are comprehensively discussed. The main focus is put on commonly postulated mechanistic aspects and their translation into mathematical concepts and model descriptions. Relevant experimental and computational strategies to practically approach the field of protein adsorption mechanisms and their impact on current successes are outlined.

Abstract
This work explores the use of "patchy" polymer brushes to control protein adsorption rates on engineered surfaces and to bind targeted species from protein mixtures with high selectivity but without invoking molecular recognition. The brushes of interest contain embedded cationic "patches" composed of isolated adsorbed poly(l-lysine) coils (PLL) that are about 10 nm in diameter and are randomly arranged on a silica substrate. Around these patches is a protein-resistant poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) brush that is formed from the adsorption of a PLL-g-PEG graft copolymer on the remaining silica surface. Electrostatic attractions between individual cationic patches and the negative regions of approaching proteins may be energetically insufficient to bind proteins. Furthermore, protein-patch attractions are reduced by steric repulsions between proteins and the PEG brush. We show that protein adsorption, gauged by ultimate short-term coverages and by the initial protein adsorption rate, exhibits an adhesion threshold: pure PEG brushes of the architectures employed here and brushes containing sparse loadings of PLL patches do not adsorb protein. Above a critical PLL patch loading or threshold, protein adsorption proceeds, often dramatically. The PLL patch thresholds are specific to the protein of interest, allowing surfaces to be engineered to adhesively discriminate different proteins within a mixture. The separation achieved is remarkably sharp: one protein adsorbs, but the second is completely rejected from the interface. The surfaces in this study, by virtue of their well-controlled and well-characterized patchy nature, distinguish themselves from multicomponent brushes or brushes used to end-tether peptide sequences and nucleotides.

Abstract
Electrokinetic properties and morphology of PDMS microfluidic chips intended for bioassays are studied. The chips are fabricated by a casting method followed by polymerization bonding. Microchannels are coated with 1% solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in Tris buffer. Albumin passively adsorbs on the PDMS surface. Electrokinetic characteristics (electro-osmotic velocity, electro-osmotic mobility, and zeta potential) of the coated PDMS channels are experimentally determined as functions of the electric field strength and the characteristic electrolyte concentration. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the surface reveals a "peak and ridge" structure of the protein layer and an imperfect substrate coating. On the basis of the AFM observation, several topologies of the BSA-PDMS surface are proposed. A nonslip mathematical model of the electro-osmotic flow is then numerically analyzed. It is found that the electrokinetic characteristics computed for a channel with the homogeneous distribution of a fixed electric charge do not fit the experimental data. Heterogeneous distribution of the fixed electric charge and the surface roughness is thus taken into account. When a flat PDMS surface with electric charge heterogeneities is considered, the numerical results are in very good agreement with our experimental data. An optimization analysis finally allowed the determination of the surface concentration of the electric charge and the degree of the PDMS surface coating. The obtained findings can be important for correct prediction and possibly for robust control of behavior of electrically driven PDMS microfluidic chips. The proposed method of the electro-osmotic flow analysis at surfaces with a heterogeneous distribution of the surface electric charge can also be exploited in the interpretation of experimental studies dealing with protein-solid phase interactions or substrate coatings.

Abstract
It is known that protein attachment to surfaces depends sensitively upon the local structure and environment of the binding sites at the nanometer scale. Using nanografting and reversal nanografting, both atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based lithography techniques, protein binding sites with well-defined local environments are designed and engineered with nanometer precision. Three proteins, goat antibiotin immunoglobulin G (IgG), lysozyme, and rabbit immunoglobulin G, are immobilized onto these engineered surfaces. Strong dependence on the dimension and spatial distribution of protein binding sites are revealed in antibody recognition, covalent attachment via primary amine residues and surface-bound aldehyde groups. This investigation indicates that AFM-based nanolithography enables the production of protein nanostructures, and more importantly, protein-surface interactions at a molecular level can be regulated by changing the binding domains and their local environment at nanometer scale.

Abstract
Once a homogeneous ensemble of a protein ligand is taken from solution and immobilized to a surface, for many reasons the resulting ensemble of surface binding sites to soluble analytes may be heterogeneous. For example, this can be due to the intrinsic surface roughness causing variations in the local microenvironment, nonuniform density distribution of polymeric linkers, or nonuniform chemical attachment producing different protein orientations and conformations. We previously described a computational method for determining the distribution of affinity and rate constants of surface sites from analysis of experimental surface binding data. It fully exploits the high signal/noise ratio and reproducibility provided by optical biosensor technology, such as surface plasmon resonance. Since the computational analysis is ill conditioned, the previous approach used a regularization strategy assuming a priori all binding parameters to be equally likely, resulting in the broadest possible parameter distribution consistent with the experimental data. We now extended this method in a Bayesian approach to incorporate the opposite assumption, i.e., that the surface sites a priori are expected to be uniform (as one would expect in free solution). This results in a distribution of binding parameters as close to monodispersity as possible given the experimental data. Using several model protein systems immobilized on a carboxymethyl dextran surface and probed with surface plasmon resonance, we show microheterogeneity of the surface sites in addition to broad populations of significantly altered affinity. The distributions obtained are highly reproducible. Immobilization conditions and the total surface density of immobilized sites can have a substantial impact on the functional distribution of the binding sites.

Abstract
The adsorption of polymers, copolymers, surfactants, and biopolymers is often used to engineer surfaces. Towards improving our understanding of polymer adsorption we report simulation results for the adsorption of model copolymers, resembling surfactants, on nanoscale patterned hydrophobic surfaces at infinitely dilute concentrations. The surfactants are composed by a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. Surfactant adsorption on the hydrophobic surface occurs in the tail-down configuration in which the tail segments are in contact with the surface. We investigate how the presence of a solid hard mask, used to create the nanoscale pattern on the underlying hydrophobic surface, affects the surfactant adsorption. We find that surfactant adsorption on the underlying hydrophobic surface is prevented when the characteristic dimensions of the solid hard mask are less than twice the radius of gyration. We also show that details about mask-surfactant head effective interactions have the potential to alter the characteristics of adsorption. When the mask repels the head segments, the surfactants hardly adsorb on the underlying hydrophobic surface. When the mask strongly attracts the surfactant heads, the surfactants may preferentially adsorb on the mask rather than on the underlying hydrophobic surface. Under these latter circumstances the adsorbed surfactants in some cases assume a head-down configuration in which the head segments are in contact with the mask and the tail segments extend towards the bulk solution. We explain our results in terms of enthalpy and entropy of adsorption and discuss practical implications.

Abstract
The normalized overall rate constant, kp/kf for diffusion-limited processes in a dilute suspension of spheres, partially covered with active patches of varying distribution states, is studied with sped-up Brownian dynamic simulations. A dimensionless separation index Is is defined to quantify the characteristics of patch distribution on the sphere surfaces, with values of 0 and 1 corresponding to the states of the most compact and loosest patch distributions, respectively. Remarkably, the normalized overall rate constant is found to strongly correlate with the dimensionless separation index at fixed patch coverage fcover exhibiting a positive, linear relationship. In addition, the slope of the kp/kf vs Is line, a measure of sensitivity of kp/kf to variation in the separation state of the distributed patches, is found to depend on patch coverage and patch size. This sensitivity exhibits a maximum value with respect to an increase in patch coverage, and the magnitude of the maximum sensitivity decreases with increasing patch size. The patch coverage, at which the maximum sensitivity occurs, increases with increasing patch size.
