ABSTRACT Achieving high fouling resistance and permeability using membrane separation technology in water treatment processes remains a challenge. In this work, a novel mixed-matrix membrane (MMM) (poly(arylene ether ketone) [PAEK]-containing carboxyl groups [PAEK-COOH]/UiO-66-NH 2 @graphene oxide [GO]) with superb fouling resistance and high permeability was prepared by the nonsolvent-induced phase separation method, by in-situ growth of UiO-66-NH 2 on the GO layer, and by preparing hydrophilic PAEK-COOH. On the basis of the structure and performance analysis of the MMM, the maximum water flux reached 591.25 L·m −2 ·h −1 for PAEK-COOH/UiO-66-NH 2 @GO, whereas the retention rate for bovine serum albumin increased from 85.40% to 94.87%. As the loading gradually increased, the hydrophilicity of the MMMs increased, significantly enhancing their fouling resistance. The strongest anti-fouling ability observed was 94.74%, which was 2.02 times greater than that of the pure membrane. At the same time, the MMMs contained internal amide and hydrogen bonds during the preparation process, forming a cross-linked structure, which further enhanced the mechanical strength and chemical stability. In summary, the MMMs with high retention rate, strong permeability, and anti-fouling ability were successfully prepared.

Improving the interfacial adhesion of carbon fiber (CF)/polymer composite is an urgent demand to enhance its mechanical properties. A kind of poly(aryl ether ketone) with carboxyl groups (PAEK-COOH) was newly synthesized. PAEK-COOH is similar to the thermal properties of PPEK matrix. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was easily dispersed in an NMP solution containing PAEK-COOH. Different kinds of hybrid sizing agents were obtained for preparing the prepreg through the solution impregnation. The hot-pressing method was employed to produce the laminated composites. Flexural strength, flexural modulus and interlamellar shear strength (ILSS) of 0HP@CF/PPEK composites were improved by 8.8%, 17.3%, and 14.7%, respectively, in comparison to desized CF/PPEK. The interface bonding between CF and PPEK was improved by the addition of PAEK-COOH sizing agent. Meanwhile, compared with desized CF/PPEK laminates, flexural strength, flexural modulus and ILSS of 5HP@CF/PPEK composites were enhanced by 63.5%, 87.4%, and 40.9%, respectively. The crack propagation path became dispersed and the stress was effectively absorbed when the sizing agent containing nano-hydroxyapatite particles. By characterizing and reconstructing the transverse and longitudinal fracture in composite materials, the failure process of the composites under the action of stress was explained, and the interface theories of CF reinforced polymer were further explored. Highlights A kind of polyaryl ether ketone containing carboxyl functional group (PAEK-COOH)was newly synthesized. HAp was distributed in the polymer sizing agent to obtain a HAp/PAEK-COOH hybrid sizing agent. The interfacial adhesion of CF/PPEK composite was greatly improved by the hybrid sizing agent.

Carboxylated cardo poly(arylene ether ketone)s (PAEK-COOH) is a thermally stable and hydrophilic membrane fabrication material. Herein, PAEK-COOH was employed as membrane material, being dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) and 1,4-dioxane (DO) mixed solvent and activated by adding 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) to prepare polymer casting solution . Then the activated polymer film was immersed into polyethylenimine (PEI) aqueous solution that served as coagulation bath for taking the one-step chemical reaction-involved phase inversion process. As illustrated by the SEM images, the fabricated crosslinked tight ultrafiltration membrane had a dense and integrally skinned separation skin layer. Chemical composition and hydrophilicity of membrane surface were studied by ATR-FTIR and water contact angle , respectively. Those results revealed that, via the in situ crosslinking of activated carboxylic acid group and PEI along with the phase inversion process, the PEI molecules had been covalently bonded onto membrane surface and resulted in the increase of membrane hydrophilicity. The optimized membrane had a molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 12.7 kDa and an isoelectric point of 7.4, indicating which is slightly positively charged. The one-step chemical reaction involved phase inversion between reactive macromolecules, i.e., activated PAEK-COOH original polymer film and PEI crosslinker in coagulant, was an efficient and convenient approach for fabrication of highly permeable and selective tight ultrafiltration membranes. Membrane had a dye solution permeability of 80–84 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 and Congo red (CR) rejection of 99.9% in 100 h long-term filtration testing, being capable for dye removal from textile wastewater .

Cardo poly (arylene ether ketone)s bearing hydrophilic carboxylic acid groups (PAEK-COOH) was successfully synthesized by condensation polymerization of 2-[bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)methyl] benzoic acid and 4,4′-bisfluorodiphenylketone. TGA and DSC analyses demonstrated that the material has an initial decomposition temperature and glass transition temperature of 360 °C and 220 °C respectively, which revealed the excellent thermal stability of PAEK-COOH. Then PAEK-COOH was employed to fabricate tight ultrafiltration membrane by the nonsolvent induced phase inversion process (NIPS). The water contact angle of the prepared membrane is 61.5°, indicating its good hydrophilicity. The PAEK-COOH tight ultrafiltration membrane possesses a pure water flux of 119.6±2.6 L m −2 h −1 , dye permeation flux of 100.9±4.3 L m −2 h −1 and rejection of 99.8±0.33% for Congo red at dye concentration of 100 ppm and operation pressure of 0.4 MPa. Membrane has a molecular weight cut off of 9260 Da and gives complete penetration of monovalent inorganic salt NaCl but a slight rejection of divalent inorganic salt Na 2 SO 4 (less than 10%). Thus, the membrane could be used in the decolorization of wastewater or fractionation of dye and salt mixture for dye purification. The membrane also exhibits excellent antifouling performance and anti-dye adsorption properties with a flux recovery ratio of 91.5% for BSA and dye adsorption rate below 5.0% for four kinds of studied dyes, respectively.
