Abstract
Cellulose acetate membranes exhibit a potential to be applied in hemodialysis. However, their performance is limited by membrane fouling and a lack of antibacterial properties. In this research, copper oxide (I) nanoparticles were fabricated in situ into a cellulose acetate matrix in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pore-forming agent) and sulfobetaine (stabilising agent) to reduce the leakage of copper ions from nano-enhanced membranes. The influence of nanoparticles on the membrane structure and their antibacterial and antifouling properties were investigated. The results showed that incorporating Cu2O NPs imparted significant antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and fouling resistance under physiological conditions. The Cu2O NPs-modified membrane could pave the way for potential dialysis applications.

Abstract
The recent "cell-based theory" of coagulation suggests that platelets serve as the site of coagulation factor reactions, making platelets an effective target for inhibiting membrane thrombosis. Unfortunately, there is limited research on how blood purification membranes affect platelet intracellular signaling. In this study, we modified polyethersulfone (PES) membranes with the platelet phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor dipyridamole (DIP) and investigated the effects of the DIP/PES (DP) membranes on platelet adhesion, activation, aggregation, and secretion, as well as the role of the PDE-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) intracellular signaling pathway. Additionally, we evaluated the hemocompatibility and preliminary in vivo safety of DP membranes. Our results demonstrate that the modified DP membranes effectively inhibited platelet adhesion, membrane CD62P expression, and plasma soluble P-selectin activation levels. Furthermore, we confirmed that DP membranes achieved platelet aggregation inhibition and reduced platelet factor 4 and β-thromoglobulin secretion levels by inhibiting platelet intracellular PDE-cAMP signaling. Moreover, the modified DP membranes exhibited good anticoagulant and red blood cell membrane stability and complement resistance and demonstrated preliminary biocompatibility in mouse experiments. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential application of DP dialysis membranes in blood purification for critically ill patients.

Abstract
Polyethersulfone (PES) membranes are widely used in medical devices, especially intravascular devices such as intravascular bioartificial pancreases. In the current work, the pure PES and PES-pyrolytic carbon (PyC) composite membranes were synthesized and permeability studies were conducted. In addition, the cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility of the pure PES and PES-PyC membranes were investigated. These materials were characterized using peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) activation, platelet activation, platelet adhesion, ß-cell viability and proliferation, and ß-cell response to hyperglycemia. The results showed that platelet activation decreased from 87.3% to 27.8%. Any alteration in the morphology of sticking platelets was prevented, and the number of attached platelets decreased by modification with PyC. The 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay corroborated that PBMC activation was encouraged by the PyC-modified PES membrane surface. It can be concluded that PES-modified membranes show higher hemocompatibility than pure PES membranes. ß-cells cultured on all the three membranes displayed a lower rate of proliferation although the cells on the PES-PyC (0.1 wt. %) membrane indicated a slightly higher viability and proliferation than those on the pure PES and PES-PyC (0.05 wt. %) membranes. It shows that the PES-PyC (0.1 wt. %) membrane possesses superior cytocompatibility over the other membranes.

Abstract
Application of nanocarriers for drug delivery brings numerous advantages, allowing both minimization of side effects common in systemic drug delivery and improvement in targeting, which has made it the focal point of nanoscience for a number of years. While most of the studies are focused on encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs, delivery of hydrophilic compounds is typically performed via covalent attachment, which often requires chemical modification of the drug and limits the release kinetics. In this paper, we report synthesis of biphilic copolymers of various compositions capable of self-assembly in water with the formation of nanoparticles and suitable for ionic binding of the common anticancer drug doxorubicin. The copolymers are synthesized by radical copolymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone and acrylic acid using n-octadecyl-mercaptan as a chain transfer agent. With an increase of the carboxyl group's share in the chain, the role of the electrostatic stabilization factor of the nanoparticles increased as well as the ability of doxorubicin as an ion binder. A mathematical description of the kinetics of doxorubicin binding and release is given and thermodynamic functions for the equilibrium ionic binding of doxorubicin are calculated.

MEMBRANES 2022; 12:membranes12020162.

Abstract
In this study, membrane fabrication was achieved by two different methods: (i) self-assembly and (ii) physical blending of TiO2 in PES membrane for humic acid filtration. The TiO2 nanoparticles were self-assembled by using TBT as the precursor and pluronic F127 as triblock copolymers around the membrane pores. This was achieved by manipulating the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of TBT precursors during the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process. On the other hand, the TiO2 was physically blended as a comparison to the previous method. The characteristic of the membrane was analysed to explore the possibility of enhancing the membrane antifouling mechanism and the membrane flux. The membrane morphology, pore size, porosity, and contact angle were characterised. Both methods proved to be able to enhance the antifouling properties and flux performance. The HA rejection increased up to 95% with membrane flux 55.40 kg m−2 h−1. The rejection rate was not significantly improved for either method. However, the antifouling characteristic for the self-assembly TiO2/PES membrane was better than the physically blended membrane. This was found to be due to the high surface hydrophilicity of the MM membrane, which repelled the hydrophobic HA and consequently blocked the HA adsorption onto the surface.

Abstract
Immobilization of proteins by covalent coupling to polymeric materials offers numerous excellent advantages for various applications, however, it is usually limited by coupling strategies, which are often too expensive or complex. In this study, an electron-beam-based process for covalent coupling of the model protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) flat sheet membranes was investigated. Immobilization can be performed in a clean, fast, and continuous mode of operation without any additional chemicals involved. Using the Design of Experiments (DoE) approach, nine process factors were investigated for their influence on graft yield and homogeneity. The parameters could be reduced to only four highly significant factors: BSA concentration, impregnation method, impregnation time, and electron beam irradiation dose. Subsequently, optimization of the process was performed using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM). A one-step method was developed, resulting in a high BSA grafting yield of 955 mg m−2 and a relative standard deviation of 3.6%. High efficiency was demonstrated by reusing the impregnation solution five times consecutively without reducing the final BSA grafting yield. Comprehensive characterization was conducted by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and measurements of zeta potential, contact angle and surface free energy, as well as filtration performance. In addition, mechanical properties and morphology were examined using mercury porosimetry, tensile testing, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Abstract
Continuous blood purification technology such as hemodiafiltration has been used worldwide for saving patients suffering from severe diseases or organ function failure, especially in the intensive care unit and emergency setting. The filters as core devices are commonly made of polymer materials as hollow fiber membranes. However, the membrane is often inductively blocked by blood clot formation due to its interactions with blood components. Heparin is the anticoagulant often used in clinical practice for anti-coagulation. Recently, heparin is also employed to modify the hollow fiber membranes either chemically or physically to improve the filtration performance. This review summarizes recent advances in methodology for surface heparinization of such hollow fiber membranes, and their filtration performance improvement. The review also provides expert opinions for further research in this rapidly expanding field.

Abstract
Non-covalent electrostatic interaction between amide nitrogen and carbonyl carbon of shorter chain length of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP-k25) was developed with in-house carboxylic oxidized multiwall carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNT) and then blended with Polyethersulfone (PES) polymer. FTIR analysis was utilized to confirm bonding nature of nano-composites (NCs) of O-MWCNT/PVP-k25 and casting membranes. Non-solvent induces phase separation process developed regular finger-like channels in composite membranes whereas pristine PES exhibited spongy entities as studied by cross sectional analysis report of FESEM. Further, FESEM instrument was also utilized to observe the dispersion of O-MWCNT/PVP based nanocomposite (NCs) with PES and membranes leaching phenomena analysis. Contact angle experiments described 24% improvement of hydrophilic behaviour, leaching ratio of additives was reduced to 1.89%, whereas water flux enhanced up to 6 times. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) and lysozyme based antifouling analysis shown up to 25% improvement, whereas 84% of water flux was regained after protein fouling than pristine PES. Anticoagulant activity was reported by estimating prothrombin, thrombin, plasma re-calcification times and production of fibrinogen cluster with platelets-adhesions photographs and hemolysis experiments. Composite membranes exhibited 3.4 and 3 times better dialysis clearance ratios of urea and creatinine solutes as compared to the raw PES membrane.

Abstract
It has been widely recognized that functional groups on biomaterial surfaces play important roles in blood compatibility. To construct an effective antithrombotic bio-interface onto the poly(ether sulfone) (PES) membrane surface, bio-functional groups of sodium carboxylic (-COONa), sodium sulfonic (-SO3Na) and amino (-NH2) groups were introduced onto the PES membrane surface in three steps: the synthesis of PES with carboxylic (-COOH) groups (CPES) and water-soluble PES with sodium sulfonic (-SO3Na) groups and amino (-NH2) groups (SNPES); the introduction of carboxylic groups onto the PES membrane by blending CPES with PES; and the grafting of SNPES onto CPES/PES membranes via the coupling of amino groups and carboxyl groups. The physical/chemical properties and bioactivities were dependent on the proportions of the additives. After introducing bio-functional groups, the excellent hemocompatibility of the modified membranes was confirmed by the inhibited platelet adhesion and activation, prolonged clotting times, suppressed blood-related complement and leukocyte-related complement receptor activations. Furthermore, cell tests indicated that the modified membranes showed better cytocompatibility in endothelial cell proliferation than the pristine PES membrane due to the synergistic promotion of the functional groups. To sum up, these results suggested that modified membranes present great potential in fields using blood-contacting materials, such as hemodialysis and surface endothelialization.

Abstract
In this study, L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine and human collagen type IV were coated over the outer surface of the custom-made hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) with the objective of simultaneously improving biocompatibility leading to proliferation of human embryonic kidney cells-293 (HEK-293) and improving separation of uremic toxins, thereby making them suitable for bioartificial kidney application. Physicochemical characterization showed the development of coated HFMs, resulting in low hemolysis (0.25 ± 0.10%), low SC5b-9 marker level (7.95 ± 1.50 ng/mL), prolonged blood coagulation time, and minimal platelet adhesion, which indicated their improved human blood compatibility. Scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy showed significantly improved attachment and proliferation of HEK-293 cells on the outer surface of the coated HFMs, which was supported by the results of glucose consumption and MTT cell proliferation assay. The solute rejection profile of these coated HFMs was compared favorably with that of the commercial dialyzer membranes. These coated HFMs showed a remarkable 1.6-3.2 fold improvement in reduction ratio of uremic toxins as compared to standard dialyzer membranes. These results clearly demonstrated that these extracellular matrix-coated HFMs can be a potential biocompatible substrate for the attachment and proliferation of HEK-293 cells and removal of uremic toxins from the simulated blood, which may find future application for bioartificial renal assist device.

Abstract
We developed a simple and facile approach to covalently immobilize Ag nanoparticles (NPs) onto polyamide surfaces of thin film composite membranes through layer-by-layer interfacial polymerization (LBL-IP) for biofouling mitigation. Stable and uniform bovine serum albumin (BSA) capped Ag NPs with an average diameter of around 20 nm were synthesized using BSA as a template under the assistance of sonication, and Ag NPs incorporated thin film composite (TFC) polyamide membrane was then fabricated by LBL-IP on a nanoporous polysulfone (PSf) substrate upon sequential coating with m-phenylenediamine (MPD) aqueous solution, trimesoyl chloride (TMC)-hexane solution, and finally BSA-capped Ag NPs aqueous solution. The influence of Ag NPs incorporation was investigated on the surface physicochemical properties, water permeability, and salt rejection of TFC polyamide membrane. Our findings show that Ag NPs functionalized membrane exhibited excellent antibacterial properties without sacrificing their permeability and rejection, and Ag NPs incorporation affected very little surface roughness and charge of polyamide layer. Moreover, the incorporated Ag NPs presented a low release rate and excellent stability on polyamide surface in cross-flow conditions. Given the simplicity and versatility of this approach, our study provides a practicable avenue for direct incorporation of various surface-tailored nanomaterials on the polyamide surface to develop high-performance TFC membranes with fouling-resistant properties on a large scale.

Abstract
A nano porous polyethersulfone (PES) membrane is widely used for aspects of nanofiltration, such as purification, fractionation and dialysis. However, the low-blood-compatibility characteristic of PES membrane causes platelets and blood cells to stick to the surface of the membrane and degrades ions diffusion through membrane, which further limits its application for dialysis systems. In this study, we deposited the fluorinated-diamond-like-carbon (F-DLC) onto the finger like structure layer of the PES membrane. By doing this, we have the F-DLC films coating the membrane surface without sacrificing the membrane permeability. In addition, we examined antithrombogenicity of the F-DLC/PES membranes using a microfluidic device, and experimentally found that F-DLC drastically reduced the amount of blood cells attached to the surface. We have also conducted long-term experiments for 24 days and the diffusion characteristics were found to be deteriorated due to fouling without any surface modification. On the other hand, the membranes coated by F-DLC film gave a consistent diffusion coefficient of ions transfer through a membrane porous. Therefore, F-DLC films can be a great candidate to improve the antithrombogenic characteristics of the membrane surfaces in hemodialysis systems.

Abstract
A bioartificial liver bioreactor requires a bifunctional hollow fiber that is hemocompatible on one side and cytocompatible on the other side. In this study, we developed a single-layer skin polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber with smooth inner surface and rough/porous outer surface for an artificial liver bioreactor. The hemocompatibility of the inner surface was evaluated by hemolysis, complement activation and clotting time. The cytocompatibility of the outer surface with HepG2 cells was examined by morphology, proliferation and liver-specific functions. The inner surface of the PES hollow fiber exhibited lower hemolysis and complement activation than cellulose acetate (CA) hollow fiber and a prolonged blood coagulation time. HepG2 cells readily adhered to the outer surfaces of the PES hollow fibers, and proliferated to form multicellular aggregates with time. Furthermore, HepG2 cells cultured on the outer surface of the PES hollow fiber exhibited higher proliferation ability and liver-specific functions than those grown on the CA hollow fiber. These results suggest that the single-layer skin PES hollow fiber is a bifunctional hollow fiber with good hemocompatibility on the inner side and cytocompatibility on the outer side. Thus, porous and single-layer skin PES hollow fibers may have potential as materials for an artificial liver bioreactor.

Abstract
An amphiphilic triblock co-polymer of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP-b-PMMA-b-PVP) was synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The block co-polymer can be directly blended with polyethersulfone (PES) using dimethylacetamide (DMAC) as the solvent to prepare flat sheet and hollow fiber membranes using a liquid-liquid phase separation technique. The PVP block formed a brush on the surface of the blended membrane, while the PMMA block mingled with the PES macromolecules, which endowed the membrane with permanent hydrophilicity. After adding the as-prepared block co-polymer the modified membranes showed lower protein (bovine serum albumin) adsorption, suppressed platelet adhesion, and a prolonged blood coagulation time, and thereby the blood compatibility was improved. Furthermore, the modified PES membranes showed good cytocompatibility, ultrafiltration and protein anti-fouling properties. These results suggest that surface modification of PES membranes by blending with the amphiphilic triblock co-polymer PVP-b-PMMA-b-PVP allows practical application of these membranes with good biocompatibility in the field of blood purification, such as hemodialysis and bioartificial liver support.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction method using chitosan as stabilizer and ascorbic acid as reducing agent in this work. The silver/chitosan nanocomposites were characterized in terms of their particle sizes and morphology by using UV spectrophotometer, nano-grainsize analyzer, and transmission electron microscopy. Antibacterial activities of these nanocomposites were carried out for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The silver nanoparticles exhibited significantly inhibition capacity towards these bacteria. Detailed studies on the biocompatibility of the silver/chitosan nanocomposites were investigated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and cell adhesion test. The results indicated that these silver/chitosan nanocomposites were benefit for the proliferation and adhesion of L-929 cells, and the biocompatibilities between the nanocomposites and the cells would become better with the culturing days. We anticipated that these silver/chitosan nanocomposites could be a promising candidate as coating material in biomedical engineering and food packing fields wherein antibacterial properties and biocompatibilities are crucial.
