A novel kind of sulfonated polyethersulfonephenylethane (SPESPE) was successfully synthesized firstly in this work. Then the SPESPE was introduced in polyethersulfone (PES) microspheres prepared by the electrospraying technique. The microspheres were applied to adsorbing bisphenol A (BPA) from its aqueous solution. Compared with the PES microspheres, the adsorption capacity of PES/SPESPE microspheres for BPA was increased significantly. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of PES/SPESPE microspheres was enhanced by increasing the amounts of SPESPE in the microspheres. The pH of solution had influence on the adsorption capacity of PES/SPESPE microspheres. The kinetic data of adsorption were found to follow pseudo-second-order model. The Freundlich isotherm model was suitable to describe the equilibrium adsorption data. The microspheres also showed excellent regeneration and reuse ability. These results indicated that the PES/SPESPE microspheres have the potential to be used in environmental application. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 43066.

Loose nanofiltration membranes (LNF) have wide applications in the field of precise separation of small organic molecules. However, high separation precision of organic molecules with salts and a high water flux are still the challenges in the commercial applications of LNF membranes. In the current work, polyethersulfone (PES)/hydroxylated polyethersulfone (PES-OH) LNF membranes were synthesized by nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) based on reactive porogen (butyl dicarbonate, BDC) for the first time. The reactive porogen was decomposed to produce nanobubbles during heat-treated casting solution and phase inversion in HCl coagulation. It was found that the heat-treatment temperature of the casting solution was higher, the viscosity of the solution at 20 °C was higher due to the existence of more nanobubbles from BDC decomposition in the casting solution. Moreover, heat-treatment temperature had decisive impacts on the structure and separation property of the formed LNF membranes as nanobubbles actually acted as pore-forming agents. The HCl coagulation/immersion baths also promoted the BDC decomposition to produce the nanobubbles and improved the transmembrane water flux without sacrificing rejection and separation precision performance. The synthesized LNF membrane had a pore diameter approximately 3.81 nm, with a flux up to 200.2 L·m −2 ·h −1 . Direct Black 38 shows a rejection of > 99 %, whereas NaCl shows a rejection of < 5 %, exhibiting a good separation accuracy and found superior to the separation performance in the literature. This research result has offered a novel approach for the preparation of superior performance LNF membranes, which can be utilized for precise separation.

In this paper, we provide a highly efficient, convenient and universal protocol for blood-compatible modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes via in situ cross-linked copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylic acid (AA) in PES solutions. Static water contact angle, protein adsorption, platelet adhesion, and clotting time of the modified PES membranes are systematically studied, and the results indicate that the modified membranes show improved hydrophilicity, good blood anticoagulant and antifouling properties after introducing HEMA and AA. Meanwhile, the modified membranes perform low contact activation and complement activation when they come in contact with blood. The effect of the HEMA/AA ratios on the blood compatibility is also investigated to identify the different roles played by HEMA and AA in the modification; the HEMA could more effectively enhance the membrane antifouling property, while the AA could more effectively improve the anticoagulant property. The results indicated that the blood-compatible PES membranes prepared via the in situ cross-linked copolymerization had potential to be used in the field of blood purification.

The low reactivity and poor compatibility of hydrophobic polymer base with hydrophilic additives poses a challenge for preparation of antifouling ultrafiltration (UF) membrane. In this work, the allyloxy nonylphenoxy propanol polyoxyethylene (SE-10N) ether ammonium sulfate (AHPS), which possessing excellent reactivity and amphiphilicity, was grafted onto PES membrane surface via dopamine triggered one-step polymerization and co-deposition process. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed that AHPS was easily anchored onto the membrane surface with the assistance of dopamine. Field emitting scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) also demonstrated the formation of a new coating on membrane surface. The modified layer significantly enhanced the hydrophilicity of the ultrafiltration membrane, as confirmed by the decrease of contact angle from 77.2° to 55.8°. As a result, the modified membrane exhibited remarkably improved anti-fouling properties. The static adsorption of bovine albumin (BSA) on membrane surface was decreased from 77.2 to 34.3 µg/cm 2 . Furthermore, the modified membrane displayed higher flux recovery (95.9%) and fouling reversibility (51.6%) than unmodified membrane (56.7% and 23.0%, respectively). Besides, the modified membrane also showed better structural stability in acid and alkali solutions as compared with pure polydopamine coated membrane. Therefore, this study provided a facile approach for improving the anti-fouling performance of membranes.

The decline of renal function for the patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) leads to the loss of uric acid excretion , which may reduce the prognosis of patients and increase mortality. Although hemodialysis could remove most uric acid , the long-term hemodialysis patients commonly face the problems of exacerbating oxidative stress and subsequent complications such as inflammation effects. In this work, urate oxidase-like (UOD-like) nanoenzyme is added to the blood side of polyethersulfone (PES) hemodialysis membrane by a simple double-casting phase inversion method, aiming to simultaneously achieve antioxidation and scavenge uric acid. The results demonstrate that the Janus PES/UOD membrane exhibits the ability to scavenge RNS (ABTS + , 59.75 %) and ROS (H 2 O 2 , 97.76 %; OH, 74.45 %), while efficiently clears 54.62 % uric acid. In addition, the membrane has good blood compatibility and does not cause hemolysis, complement activation , or coagulation. Furthermore, the membrane exhibits the water flux of 56.83 mL/m 2 ·h·mmHg, the urea clearance ratio of 95.33 %, and the BSA retention ratio of 99 %. Overall, we develop a promising hemodialysis membrane with antioxidant, and it opens a new route to fabricate multifunctional hemodialysis membranes.

In this work, non-woven fabric supported polyetersulfone (PES)/polyaniline (PANI) blended membranes were fabricated by immersion precipitation process and used as the substrates for thin-film composite (TFC) membranes. Polyamide (PA) TFC nanofiltration membrane was then prepared via interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) in water with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in hexane over PES and PES/PANI substrates. The prepared substrates and TFC nanofiltration membranes were characterized with respect to chemical structure , morphology and separation performance. The influence of substrate properties on the PA layer was investigated and discussed. It is evident from the results that the differences in substrate properties affect the diffusion and reaction of the monomers during interfacial polymerization process, leading to the changes in the thickness and cross-linking degree of the PA layer. Compared to PES substrate, the PES/PANI substrate comprising 0.2 wt% of PANI could greatly enhance flux and salt rejection of TFC nanofiltration membrane.

Graphical Filling the voids : Etched ZIF-8 (ZIF-8-E) crystals permeated by open through pores of size about 100 nm have been introduced into a polyethersulfone membrane matrix. The resulting material shows enhanced CO 2 /N 2 separation performance (see scheme). Zeolite ZIF-8 has been etched with acid to form microporous ZIF-8-E crystals. These were then introduced into a polyethersulfone (PES) membrane matrix to enhance its CO 2 /N 2 separation performance. Open through pores of size about 100 nm formed in the ZIF-8 crystals allow the ingrowth of polyethersulfone chains, ensuring a reduction in the number of nonselective voids, thereby achieving better interaction between ZIF-8-E and PES. As a result, the CO 2 /N 2 separation performance of the ZIF-8-E/PES membrane increased significantly, showing a CO 2 permeability of 15.7 Barrer and a CO 2 /N 2 ideal selectivity of 6.5.

Membrane separator that is highly ionic conductive and alkaline stable is essential for the efficient, scalable electrocatalytic oxidation of HMF to FDCA, a key process for sustainable development. Drawing inspiration from the microstructural design of Nafion, we developed a series of side-chain imidazolium-functionalized anion exchange membranes (AEMs), employing the chemically stable polyethersulfone (PES) as the base polymer. Functionalization of PES side chains with chloromethyl groups, followed by C2-substituted imidazolium modification, enabled precise tuning of the membrane's physicochemical properties and structural characteristics. This tailored approach yielded an optimized DIM-PES-1.0 AEM exhibiting complete HMF conversion, with 94.0 % selectivity for FDCA and 94.1 % Faradaic efficiency, outperforming the commercial Fumasep FAA-3-PK-130 AEM, which achieved only 85.5 % FDCA selectivity under similar conditions. Notably, the DIM-PES-1.0 AEM demonstrated high alkaline stability, substantially retaining its electrocatalytic activity across 15 cycles, in contrast to the rapid degradation observed in FAA-3-PK-130 AEM after only three cycles. Our findings showcase a scalable, efficient strategy for producing high-performance AEMs under mild conditions, highlighting their potential for advancing sustainable electrocatalytic processes.

Summary Owing to its unparalleled theoretical energy density, the Li-O 2 batteries are thought to be one of the most promising energy storage systems, but its application is seriously hindered by its potential safety risks arising from the passivation and corrosion of lithium anode. To address these issues, it is an efficient way to develop functionalized separator that could prevent the migration of anions and macromolecules from cathode toward anode. Herein, a novel Nafion-functionalized polyethersulfone (PES)-based ion-permselective separator was prepared by using non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method. The Nafion ensures a better physical strength of the composite separator, and further characterizations show that the obtained composite separator owns good ionic conductivity (0.52 mS cm −1 ), high lithium ion migration number (0.80), and better cyclic stability (120 cycles, 1000 mAh g −1 ). Consequently, the composite separator serves as an excellent candidate to solve the “shuttle effect” of redox mediators (RMs), the assembled Li-O 2 battery with composite separator adding LiI as RMs presents lower charge overpotential and longer cycle stability (170 cycles, 1000 mAh g −1 ).

We present an antibacterial polymersome–hydrogel composite that combines the advantages of both antimicrobial peptides and antibiotics. The polymersomes are self-assembled from poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(lysine-stat-phenylalanine) [PCL-b-P(Lys-stat-Phe)], exhibiting long-acting intrinsic antibacterial capabilities against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In addition, penicillin is encapsulated into the polymersomes, showing quick and enhanced antibacterial activities. Furthermore, a dynamic hydrogel network is prepared based on the Schiff base linkages between the aldehyde groups of dibenzaldehyde-functionalized PEG (DF-PEG) and the amino groups of chitosan. During this process, the penicillin-loaded polymersomes are grafted into the hydrogel networks by Schiff base linkages to afford polymersome–hydrogel composites, which exhibit two-stage antibacterial behavior: (1) penicillin can be released from the hydrogel networks for quick antibacterial function; (2) the polymersomes and the remaining penicillin can be further released for long-term antibacterial effects. Overall, this polymersome–hydrogel composite represents a new type of injectable antibacterial biomaterial for quick and long-acting antibacterial applications.

MXene, a new 2D transition metal carbide-based material, possesses excellent electrical conductivity and hydrophilicity. In this study, Ti3C2Tx (where T represents a functional group (O, OH, and/or F)) was produced by etching and ultrasonicating Ti3AlC2. Then, it was used to prepare the MXene composite membrane via a simple filtration method performed at 0.2 MPa on a polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membrane. The MXene composite membrane shows excellent flux (115 L m−2 h−1) and favorable rejection to Congo red dye (92.3% at 0.1 MPa). The membrane demonstrated rejection to inorganic salts below 23% with flux above 432 L m−2 h−1 at 0.1 MPa. Due to its loose lamellar structure, the composite membrane is able to demonstrate efficient permselectivity in the separation of dyes from salts. Furthermore, the composite membrane shows excellent hydrophilicity and flux because of the lamellar hydrophilic MXene.

Perfluorocarbon groups or related compounds are usually used to modify polymer materials because of their low surface energy properties. In this paper, a novel perfluorocarbon-containing compound was synthesized and used as a capping agent for the preparation of perfluorocarbon chain terminated poly(ether sulfone). The regulation of the fluorine content was achieved by controlling the molecular weight. FTIR and 1H NMR spectra were used to confirm the existence of perfluorocarbon terminated groups in the polymer chains. In addition, the ratios of F/C were acquired by integral area calculation from the 1H NMR spectrum. XPS characterization showed that the surface migration phenomenon of fluorine became apparent along with the increase of the F/C ratio. Further testing found that the introduction of perfluorinated end groups into the PES chains had little influence on the polymers' mechanical and thermal performance, by contrast, their surface energy decreased efficiently from approximately 40 mJ m−2 to 16 mJ m−2 with the F/C ratio on the surface increased from 0 to 0.556, which could develop PES as a low surface energy material for industrial applications.
