Filtration Properties

Membranes with designed surface and filtration properties were prepared by grafting and adsorption of polyelectrolyte multilayer systems on membrane surfaces using the layer-by-layer electrostatic self-assembly technique. Microfiltration membranes with a first polyelectrolyte layer grafted onto the surface showed excellent stability during the filtration process. Although a two-fold higher permeate flux was observed for a three-layer polyelectrolyte complex membrane compared to a just grafted one, the protein retention did not change remarkably. Additionally, a reduced protein adsorption was detected by in-situ ATRFTIR spectroscopy for the case of repulsive electrostatic forces between the substrate and the protein under applied test conditions.

Uf Membranes

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a low-pressure membrane that yields higher permeate flux and saves significant operating costs compared to high-pressure membranes; however, studies addressing the combined improvement of anti-organic and biofouling properties of UF membranes are lacking. This study investigated the fouling resistance and antimicrobial property of a UF membrane via silver phosphate nanoparticle (AgPNP) embedded polyelectrolyte (PE) functionalization. Negatively charged polyacrylic acid (PAA) and positively charged polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) were deposited on the membrane using a fluidic layer-by-layer assembly technique. AgPNPs were immobilized within the crosslinked “bilayers” (BL) of PAH/PAA. The effectiveness of AgPNP immobilization was confirmed by microprofile measurements on membrane surfaces using a solid contact Ag micro-ion-selective electrode. Upon stable and uniform BL formation on the membrane surface, the permeate flux was governed by a combined effect of PAH/PAA-derived hydrophilicity and surface/pore coverage by the BLs “tightening” of the membrane. When fouled by a model organic foulant (humic acid), the functionalized membrane exhibited a lower flux decline and a greater flux recovery due to the electrostatic repulsion imparted by PAA when compared to the unmodified membrane. The functionalization rendered antimicrobial property, as indicated by fewer attachments of bacteria that initiate the formation of biofilms leading to biofouling.

Assembly Technique

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.
