Thin graphene oxide (GO) film layers are being widely used as sensing layers in different types of electrical and optical sensor devices. GO layers are particularly popular because of their tuned interface reflectivity. The stability of GO layers is fundamental for sensor device reliability, particularly in complex aqueous environments such as wastewater. In this work, the stability of GO layers in layer-by-layer (LbL) films of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and GO was investigated. The results led to the following conclusions: PEI/GO films grow linearly with the number of bilayers as long as the adsorption time is kept constant; the adsorption kinetics of a GO layer follow the behavior of the adsorption of polyelectrolytes; and the interaction associated with the growth of these films is of the ionic type since the desorption activation energy has a value of 119 ± 17 kJ/mol. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that PEI/GO films are suitable for application in optical fiber sensor devices; most importantly, an optical fiber-based interrogation setup can easily be adapted to investigate in situ desorption via a thermally stimulated process. In addition, it is possible to draw inferences about film stability in solution in a fast, reliable way when compared with the traditional ones.

The presence of heavy metals in drinking water leads to several health problems. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL)/zeolite nano or microfiber electrospun composite membranes, diameter range of the fibers was 2 µm- 6 µm, were fabricated by using electrospinning technique. The membranes separation processes have played very crucial roles in water purification industry. Apart from that, the membranes are prepared with biocompatible, non-toxic materials which will be eco-friendly. In order to produce electrospun membrane, 15% (w/v) of PCL polymer solution was dissolved in acetone and 20% (w/w) zeolite was incorporated into the PCL polymer solution. Electricity charged jet of polymer solution from the syringe formed an electrostatics field when the high voltage of 20kV was applied. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX) implemented to indicate the characterization of membranes. The water contact angle of PCL/zeolite membrane was 119.53±5.24 which was almost same as pure PCL membrane (107.73±8.54). The inducible results obtained in this study suggested that electrospun pcl and polycaprolactone/zeolite layer by layer nanofibrous membranes can be a favored verdict for the removal of heavy metal ions.
