Plant oils as the most typical and widest available biomass feedstocks have been employed to construct organic coatings. In contrast to the conventional plant oil-based thermoset coatings, it is still challenging to fabricate robust supramolecular plant oil-based coatings with reversible and dynamic noncovalent interactions, overcoming the drawbacks of thermoset coatings. In this work, we have reported a series of strong nucleobase-enhanced plant oil-based coatings with multiple supramolecular interactions such as hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, hydrophobic and coordination interactions. The nucleobase-functionalized supramolecular plant oil-based coatings display strong adhesion and outstanding environmental tolerance towards different pH conditions, the variation of temperatures, and UV irradiation. In order to optimize the polymerization of the plant oil-based monomer , the radical polymerization of methacrylate-type camellia oil monomer (MCO) was studied to understand the influence of the unsaturated carbon–carbon double bond in the appended long fatty chain on the polymerization of the methacrylate. The stable propagation radicals of methacrylate-type monomer result in the formation of branched plant oil-based polymers with high efficacy. The copolymerization of the plant oil-based and nucleobase-functionalized methacrylates and the supramolecular mixing achieves the maximum adhesion of 9.89 MPa, highlighting the potential of fabricating strong supramolecular plant oil-based coatings.

A high-performance nanofiltration (NF) membrane with simultaneously improved desalination and antifouling properties while maintaining regeneration ability is highly desirable in water treatment. Surface modification is an effective approach to enhance the performance of NF membranes. In the present study, a multifunctional thin-film composite NF membrane (Fe–TFC) was fabricated via coating a regenerable ferric ion–tannic acid (FeIII–TA) layer on the nascent polyamide membrane surface. The Fe–TFC membrane exhibited enhanced hydrophilicity, smaller pore size, and lower negative charge compared with the control membrane. The salt rejections and selectivity of divalent to monovalent ions were greatly improved with only a slight decrease in water permeability due to the presence of the coating layer. Meanwhile, dynamic fouling tests with humic acid demonstrated that the Fe–TFC membrane possessed an enhanced antifouling property and excellent flux recovery rate. After coating, the normalized water flux and flux recovery of the Fe–TFC membrane increased from 0.02 to 0.26 and 32.1 to 76.4% at the end of five cycles of fouling tests, respectively. In addition, the resultant membrane exhibited excellent durability and stability under harsh conditions for ∼10 days. Interestingly, the fouled coating layer can be easily removed by HCl cleaning and regenerated through an in situ strategy. Consequently, the regenerated membranes presented stable antifouling properties and desalination performance after several times of regeneration. It was demonstrated that the unique feature of FeIII–TA networks enables the coating layer to act as a protective layer for the underlying polyamide membrane, leading to the high performance of the composite membrane. This study provides a new insight for surface functionalization and easy regeneration of the TFC nanofiltration membrane in water treatment technology.

Constructing fire-protective coatings has been to be an effective strategy for reducing fire hazards of polymeric materials. However, it remains a huge challenge to fabricate high-performance flame retardant coatings with biodegradability, excellent mechanical and thermal properties, as well as strong adhesion. Herein, inspired by snails exhibiting strong adhesion to a variety of surfaces by interfacial hydrogen-bonding, a biomimetic , highly adhesive, supramolecular nano-coating consisting of a tannic acid (TA)-functionalized hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (TA-BNNS), TA and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was prepared by using a hydrogen-bond self-assembly strategy of solvent volatilization regulation. TA-BNNS was prepared via an efficient and green ball milling exfoliation method under mild conditions. Dynamically regulating the hydrogen bonds between PVA and TA molecules through the volatilization of ethanol was to achieve physical cross-linking. Then such a nanocoating was applied for surface treatment of rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF), which exhibiting excellent flame retardant properties. Compared to pure RPUF, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and peak smoke production rate (PSPR) of the TA/PVA@BNNS coated RPUF were reduced by ~52.4 % and ~53.4 %, respectively. Therefore, this work provides new approach to the design and manufacture of green, efficient and non-toxic flame retardant materials.

The rate performance of Li-S batteries still remains poor due to the limited redox kinetics of polysulfides (PSs). Herein, by selectively coating a set of 2-demensional (2D) organic molecules, chenodeoxycholic acid (CA), 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-(porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrayl) tetrakis (benzoic acid) (TTBA), berberine chloride hydrate (BCH) and poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) on honey comb-like porous carbon (HC) interlayers, respectively, the redox kinetics of PSs are remarkably enhanced in the interspace between the 2D molecules and carbon matrix, in the order of CA

In this experiment, two similar molecules with bifunctional groups have been characterized to prove the advantages of dual-anchor molecular coating in the interfacial modification of the copper foil. The physicochemical properties of the modified copper foils have been studied. The obtained results indicate that the anti-corrosion performance and peeling strength were significantly improved for the copper foil treated with (2-(Methylthio)pyrimidin-4-yl)methanamine (MET), whose bonding information was analyzed via the density functional theory calculation. It was found that the S-Cu and N-Cu bonds were both formed on the Cu (1 1 1) surface for MET coating, and the adsorption of the double anchor points improves the stability of the interface. The peeling test exhibits the function of MET coating as the adhesion promotor between low-surface profile copper and resin for high-speed signal transmission.

Corneal injuries will cause corneal surface diseases that may lead to blindness in millions of people worldwide. There is a tremendous need for biomaterials that can promote corneal regeneration with practical feasibility. Here we demonstrate a strategy of a protein coating for corneal injury regeneration. We synthesize an o-nitrosobenzaldehyde group (NB)-modified gelatin (GelNB), which could adhere directly to the corneal surface with covalent bonding to form a thin molecular coating. The molecular coating could avoid rapid clearance and provide a favorable environment for cell migration, thereby effectively accelerating corneal repair and regeneration. The histological structure of the regenerated cornea is more similar to the native cornea. This molecular coating can be used conveniently as an eye drop solution, which makes it a promising strategy for corneal regeneration.

Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a prevalent and highly virulent pathogen responsible for microbial keratitis, which can lead to stromal damage, corneal perforation, and even blindness. In the postantibiotic era, the escalating prevalence of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus has rendered conventional antibiotic treatments increasingly ineffective, particularly due to autoinducing peptide-mediated signaling. Meanwhile, antibiotics disrupt the balance of the microbiota, which can further trigger ocular complications. To address these challenges, we designed and prepared a camouflaged bacterial system, supramolecular-coated S. aureus (SMCS), which can identify and aggregate with the matching pathogenic S. aureus through autoinducing peptide-mediated signaling. Upon the addition of amantadine, competitive host–guest interactions trigger the release of the antibacterial agent, enabling efficient and selective sterilization against pathogenic S. aureus with a fourfold higher efficacy than that against beneficial bacteria. In a rat model of bacterial keratitis, the proportion of Staphylococcus is 13.71% in the cornea after SMCS treatment, which is comparable to that in the healthy cornea (7.40%). SMCS+amantadine treatment can effectively eradicate bacteria, increase the diversity and abundance of corneal microorganisms, and preserve the balance of the corneal microbiota, providing promising clinical prospects in bacterial infection treatments and bacterial-mediated bioapplications.

To promote the greening and economization of industrial production, the development of advanced catalyst manufacturing technology with high activity and low cost is an indispensable part. In this study, nitrogen-doped hollow carbon spheres (NHCSs) were used as anchors to construct a supramolecular coating formed by the self-assembly of boron clusters and β -cyclodextrin by surface crystallization strategy, with the help of the weak reducing agent characteristics of boron clusters, highly dispersed ultra-small nano-palladium particles were in-situ embedded on the surface of NHCSs. The deoxygenation hydrogenation of nitroaromatics and the reduction of nitrate to ammonia were used as the representatives of thermal catalytic reduction and electrocatalytic reduction respectively. The excellent properties of the constructed Pd/NHCSs were proved by the probe reaction. In the catalytic hydrogenation of nitroaromatics to aminoaromatics, the reaction kinetic rate and activation energy are at the leading level. At the same time, the constructed Pd/NHCSs can also electrocatalytically reduce nitrate to high value-added ammonia with high activity and selectivity, and the behavior of Pd/NHCSs high selectivity driving nitrate conversion was revealed by density functional theory and in situ attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATRFTIR) technique. These results all reflect the feasibility and superiority of in-situ anchoring ultra-small nano-metals as catalysts by surface crystallization to build a supramolecular cladding with reducing properties, which is an effective way to construct high-activity and low-cost advanced catalysts.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of the structure and function of the intestinal epithelial barrier. Due to the poor remission effect and severe adverse events associated with current clinical medications, IBD remains an incurable disease. Here, we demonstrated a novel treatment strategy with high safety and effective inflammation remission via tissue-adhesive molecular coating. The molecular coating is composed of o-nitrobenzaldehyde (NB)-modified Gelatin (GelNB), which can strongly bond with –NH 2 on the intestinal surface of tissue to form a thin biophysical barrier. We found that this molecular coating was able to stay on the surface of the intestine for long periods of time, effectively protecting the damaged intestinal epithelium from irritations of external intestinal metabolites and harmful flora. In addition, our results showed that this coating not only provided a beneficial environment for cell migration and proliferation to promote intestinal repair and regeneration, but also achieved a better outcome of IBD by reducing intestinal inflammation. Moreover, the in vivo experiments showed that the GelNB was better than the classic clinical medication—mesalazine. Therefore, our molecular coating showed potential as a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of IBD.
