In this paper, a photo-responsive bactericidal and bacteria-resistant membrane was successfully prepared via the integration of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and click chemistry. Azide -functionalized polycationic poly ( N , N -dimethyl-N-(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl)-N-((2-nitrobenzyl)oxy)-2-oxoethanaminium bromide) (PDMAEMA-NBE) was synthesized by ATRP. Then, the PDMAEMA-NBE was clicked on alkynyl -functionalized polyethersulfone (PES) membrane surface, and proved by X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). Upon UV irradiation, the polycationic surface would switch to polyzwitterionic one. Before and after the irradiation, the zeta potentials of the surface altered from + 14.7 to − 3.8 mV, and the water contact angle decreased from 64.0° to 52.7°. The polycationic surface exhibited excellent bactericidal property and the dead bacteria could detach from the polyzwitterionic surface induced by the subsequent UV irradiation. It demonstrated that the designing of photo-responsive membrane surface could be a new strategy for antibacterial adhesion.
In this study, based on aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect and antenna effect, a novel portable fluorescent responsive membrane was constructed with red carbon dots (R-CDs) as reference signal and terbium coordination polymer (Tb-AMP CPs) as response signal for visual, instrument-free, and sensitive detection of fluoroquinolones (FQs). Specifically, the fluorescent responsive membrane (R-T membrane) was prepared by physically depositing R-CDs with AIE property and Tb-AMP CPs on the surface of polyvinylidene fluoride filter membranes at ambient temperature. In the presence of FQs, Tb 3+ in the Tb-AMP CPs of the prepared membrane coordinated with the β-diketone structure of FQs, which turned on the yellow-green fluorescence through the “antenna effect”. As the concentration of FQs increased, the R-T membrane achieved a fluorescent color transition from bright pink to yellow-green. Its visual detection sensitivity for three FQs, including ciprofloxacin, difloxacin, and enrofloxacin, was 0.01 μM, and the detection limits were 7.4 nM, 7.8 nM, and 9.2 nM, respectively, by analyzing the color parameter green. In the residue analysis of FQs in real samples, the constructed membrane also exhibited remarkable anti-interference and reliability, which is of great significance for ensuring the safety of animal-derived food.
Inspired by the stomatal feature of plant leaves, a photo-responsive membrane was developed to enhance the removal of irreversible membrane fouling and to control molecule release. Photo-responsive polymers were prepared by reacting the amine group of 4-amineazobenzene with about 3, 5 and 9 out of 12 carboxylic groups of PMAA which was grafted from P(VDF-CTFE) with a certain length. Subsequently, high-flux photo-responsive membranes (PRMs) were prepared from the heterogeneous polymers with different contents of photo-switchable azobenzene following a non-solvent-induced phase-inversion protocol. The pore size and surface hydrophilicity of PRMs could be reversibly increased by switching visible light to UV irradiation, which dramatically enhanced the backflushing efficiency on PRMs under UV irradiation. The “light-cleaning” process could recover more than 90% of the irreversible flux decline caused by typical organic foulant (BSA) and biological foulant (E. coli) on PRMs. The higher the content of azobenzene, the more obvious the pore size and hydrophilicity variation after light switching but the smaller the absolute pore size observed for PRMs. On the other hand, the light-switching gates of PRMs enabled the controlled release of molecules with different sizes. The novel PRM provided an efficient solution to mitigate irreversible membrane fouling and a light-triggered molecule release protocol, which would improve the membrane performance and further expand the application field of the membrane.
