Abstract Co3O4@Fe3O4/cellulose was synthesized by in-situ self-assembly strategy coating rod-like MOF-derived Fe3O4 with Co3O4 nanoparticles and blending with cellulose solution, further applied in the visible light-driven photo-Fenton system for PFOA degradation. In addition, Co3O4@Fe3O4/cellulose/Vitrimer was obtained to explore the application of self-healing property in photo-Fenton filed and the result turned out to be good self-healing capacity for small cracks. In comparison, Co3O4@Fe3O4/cellulose can degrade around 94.5% PFOA within 180 min in reaction system, which shows better degradation capacity than others catalyst. Moreover, Co3O4@Fe3O4/cellulose was reused by rinsing with ultra-pure water and the degradation capacity was still 80.4% after five cycles. In this system, the results of Electron paramagnetic resonance analysis (EPR) and scavenger experiment suggested that PFOA degradation was a co-dependent mechanism via photogenerated electrons, photogenerated holes (h+) and various radical species, rather than a single active constituent. The degradation pathway of PFOA also was proposed based on UHPLC-MS analysis.

Layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique has been proved to be a highly effective method to immobilize the main components of the extracellular matrix such as collagen and hyaluronic acid on titanium-based implants and form a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) film by electrostatic interaction. However, the formed PEM film is unstable in the physiological environment and affects the long-time effectiveness of PEM film. In this study, a modified LBL technology has been developed to fabricate a stable collagen/hyaluronic acid (Col/HA) PEM film on titanium coating (TC) by introducing covalent immobilization. Scanning electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the PEM film. Results of Sirius red staining demonstrated that the chemical stability of PEM film was greatly improved by covalent cross-linking. Cell culture assays further illustrated that the functions of human mesenchymal stem cells, such as attachment, spreading, proliferation and differentiation, were obviously enhanced by the covalently immobilized Col/HA PEM on TCs compared with the absorbed Col/HA PEM. The improved stability and biological properties of the Col/HA PEM covalently immobilized TC may be beneficial to the early osseointegration of the implants.

Two kinds of multilayer films based on Keggin polyoxometalates α-[SiW12O40]4−/α- [PMo12O40]3− and methylene blue have been prepared via the layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. The multilayer films were characterized by UV/Vis spectra, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements have demonstrated that the electrochemical properties of POMs are maintained in the LBL films. The antibacterial activity of the LBL films has also been investigated, which shows a distinct antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli.
