Although Janus membranes have been fabricated for the separation of oil/water mixtures, simplifying the construction processes is still a thorny challenge. In this work, a facile and easily scale-up approach based on in situ mussel-inspired chemistry is reported for the first time to prepare the Janus membrane with unidirectional oil/water separation. Here, the poly (vinylidene fluoride)/polydopamine/polyethylenimine (PVDF/PDA/PEI) membranes on the polyester non-woven fabric were fabricated via non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) technique. In the coagulation bath, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by CuSO 4 /H 2 O 2 improved the formation of the hydrophilic PDA/PEI on the top surface of the membrane. The hydrophobic bottom surface was received after the membrane was stripped from the supporting fabric. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to characterize the membrane. The Janus membrane showed asymmetric wettability with 152.2° underwater oil contact angle of F-T5 and 153.3° underoil water contact angle of B-T5. Furthermore, by this in situ mussel-inspired chemistry, the Janus membrane showed excellent water and oil separation, antifouling performance and stability, which can potentially be used for unidirectional oil/water separation.

Reported herein is a chiral resolution polysulfone membrane prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry . Polysulfone membranes were modified with dopamine, which underwent in situ polymerization on the membrane substrate, and β-cyclodextrin was used as a chiral selector. The preparation conditions were optimized and the resultant membrane obtained under these conditions showed desirable water permeability (~ 24.0 L/(m 2 ·h·bar)) and surface hydrophilicity (contact angle is lower than 37.1 ± 3.4°). The polydopamine layer exhibited desirable stability in a series of aqueous solutions with pH values ranging from 4.0–6.0 or in isopropanol for less than an hour (detachment ratio was lower than 1.2%). Characterization of the surface morphology and XPS elemental analysis revealed that the membrane surface was fully coated by polydopamine and a β-cyclodextrin monolayer formed on the surface of the polydopamine coating. The grafting density of β-cyclodextrin calculated from the XPS results was ~ 11.5 mg/m 2 . The optimal pH value for the resolution of D - or L -tryptophan feed solution was 5.90 and a low concentration of the feed solution provided a high resolution efficiency. The enantiomeric excess (e.e.) value of the membrane for Trp racemic mixture achieved to ~ 3.2% with the feed solution of tryptophan racemic mixture was 5 × 10 − 5 mol/L and the operating pressure was 0.1 MPa. After 3 times of isopropanol-washed regeneration processes, the e.e. value was still stable around to ~ 3%. The mussel-inspired chemically modified membrane exhibited the same mechanical properties as the purely polysulfone-based membrane. The methods and results provided in this paper may facilitate the large-scale production of chiral resolution membranes or other chiral separation membranes with higher performance.

Biofouling, the accumulation of organisms on submerged surfaces, significantly impairs vessel performance and hinders maritime industry development. The development of effective coatings has become an efficient solution to this problem. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2NPs) were synthesized on dopamine-modified 5083 aluminum alloy (Al) surfaces by mussel-inspired chemistry. The CeO2NPs can be fully exposed to the coating surface using this method, and CeO2 nanocoating exhibited haloperoxidase-like activity. CeO2 nanocoatings have an excellent ability to inhibit the attachment of P. tricornutum, E. coli, and Bacillussp., and their numbers were reduced by 96.03%, 94.41%, and 88.44%, respectively. The outstanding antiadhesion capability of the coating was attributed to its potent antibacterial properties and quorum quenching effect. Furthermore, the CeO2 nanocoating demonstrated outstanding corrosion resistance, with an impedance modulus 46.9 times higher than that of the Al sample. This approach presents a sustainable and environmentally friendly surface modification model for enhancing the performance of antifouling and anticorrosion in aluminum materials.

A novel strategy for surface modification of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) was developed via combination of mussel inspired chemistry and Michael addition reaction. In this procedure, pristine MWCNT were first coated with polydopamine (PDA) through self polymerization of dopamine. The PDA functionalized CNT (CNT-PDA) were further functionalized with amino-terminated polymers (polyPEGMA), which were synthesized via free radical polymerization using cysteamine hydrochloride as the chain transfer agent and poly(ethylene glycol) monomethyl ether methacylate as the monomer. The successful modification of CNT was ascertained by a series of characterization techniques including transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. The polymer modified CNT showed enhanced dispersibility in aqueous and organic solution. Cytotoxicity evaluation of polymers modified CNT showed that these modified CNT are biocompatible with cells. Finally, due to the universal adhesive of PDA and chain transfer free radical polymerization, this strategy developed in this work can also be extended for surface modification of many other nanomaterials with different functional polymers.

A straightforward approach was proposed to modify cotton fabric for oil/water separation based on musselinspired reaction. The poly(DMA-Octadecyl acrylate) was designed to contain key chemical constituents present in mussel adhesive proteins by free radical polymerization of dopamine hydrochloride and octadecyl acrylate, which strongly adsorbed to fabric substrates, providing a special surface for fabric. The chemical structure, surface topography, and surface wettability of the fabric were characterized. The results showed that as-prepared cotton fabric displayed a high CA of >150° when dripped water droplets were on the modified fabric surface, and the oil contact angle (OCA) was close to 0°, it had excellent potential to be used in practical applications and has created a new method of fabric modification for oil/water separation.

Nanofiltration membranes (NFMs) are widely used in saline water desalination, wastewater treatment, and chemical product purification. However, conventional NFMs suffer from broad pore size distribution, which limits their applications for fine separation, especially in complete separation of molecules with slight differences in molecular size. Herein, defect-free composite NFMs with narrow pore size distribution are fabricated using a contra-diffusion method, with dopamine/polyethylenimine solution on the skin side and ammonium persulfate solution on the other side of the ultrafiltration substrate. Persulfate ions can diffuse through the ultrafiltration substrate into the other side and in situ trigger dopamine to form a codeposited coating with polyethylenimine. The codeposition is hindered on those sites completely covered by the polydopamine/polyethylenimine coating, although it is promoted at the defects or highly permeable regions because it is induced by the diffused persulfate ions. Such a “self-completion” process results in NFMs with highly uniform structures and narrow pore size distribution, as determined by their rejection of neutral solutes. These near electrically neutral NFMs show a high rejection of divalent ions with a low rejection of monovalent ions (MgCl2 rejection = 96%, NaCl rejection = 23%), majorly based on a steric hindrance effect. The as-prepared NFMs can be applied in molecular separation such as isolating cellulose hydrogenation products.

An efficient and facile strategy was developed for the surface modification of functional carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by the combination of mussel inspired chemistry and single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP). This method involves the dopamine (DA) formation of polydopamine (PDA), which was coated on the surface of pristine CNTs via self-polymerization in alkaline solution. Then, the Br-containing initiator was covalently attached on the surface of CNTs modified with PDA. Subsequently, the poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (PPEGMA) was in situ grown on the surface of Br-containing CNTs via the SET-LRP method. The resulting functional materials were characterized by a series of characterization techniques. It was demonstrated that PPEGMA chains were successfully conjugated to the surface of CNTs via a combination of mussel inspired chemistry and SET-LRP. After modifying with PPEGMA, the functional CNTs retain their pristine structure, but their dispersibility was significantly improved in polar and nonpolar solutions. Compared with previous methods, the strategy developed in this work is rather simple and effective. More importantly, due to the universality of mussel inspired chemistry, this novel strategy could also be used for the surface modification of many other materials.

Rational design and modification of the all-carbon fullerene cages to meliorate their nature of hydrophobicity is critical for biomedical applications. The outstanding electron affinity of fullerenes enables them to effectively eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS), the excess of which may lead to health hazards or biological dysfunction. Herein reported is a facile, mild, and green approach to synthesizing the favorable water-soluble C60nanoparticles capable of ROS-scavenging by combining the mussel-inspired chemistry with the Michael addition reaction. Various characterization techniques, including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron cryomicroscopy (Cryo-TEM), and dynamic laser scattering (DLS) were carried out to confirm the satisfactory preparation of the hybrid C60-PDA-GSH nanoparticles, which exhibited apparent scavenging capacity of DPPH and hydroxyl radicals in vitro. Additionally, the biocompatible C60-PDA-GSH nanoparticles entered into cells and displayed a universal cytoprotective effect against oxidative press induced by H2O2in four kinds of human cells at a low concentration of 2 μg/mL. The ease and versatility of the strategy present in this work will not only trigger more fullerene-based materials by the immobilization of diverse functional molecules, but will also extend their possible applications.Keywords:water-soluble fullerene nanoparticles;mussel-inspired chemistry;reactive oxygen species scavenging;cytoprotective effect

Surface functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a thermo responsive polymer was achieved via combination of mussel inspired chemistry and surface initiated single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP). In this procedure, CNTs were first coated with polydopamine (PDA) through self polymerization under a rather mild condition. And then PDA functionalized CNTs bearing with amino and hydroxyl groups were further reacted with bromo isobutyryl bromide. Finally, a thermo responsive polymer poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) was introduced on the CNTs via SET-LRP. The successful surface modification of CNT-PDA-PNIPAM was evidenced by a series of characterization techniques. The resulting CNT-PDA-PNIPAM showed significant enhancement of dispersibility in both aqueous and organic solvents. More importantly, these CNT-polymer nanocomposites showed obvious thermo responsive behavior due to the surface coating CNTs with PNIPAM. As compared with previous methods, this method is not required oxidation of CNTs to introduce funcitonal groups for immobilization of the polymerization initiators. More importantly, this method could also be utilized for fabricating many other polymer nanocomposites because of the strong and universal adhesive of PDA to various materials. It is therefore, the novel strategy via marrying mussel inspired chemistry with SET-LRP should be a simple, general and effective method for surface functionalization. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Herein a simple and novel approach has been developed for surface modification of delaminate MXene with nano-mixed silver oxide which combined with mussel-inspired chemistry. Surface modification with dopamine as a secondary reaction platform for loading nano-silver compounds for removal of iodine was achieved. The internal structure and morphology were characterized by SEM and TEM. The element content and distribution analysis of EDS and XPS proved that nano silver compounds were successfully supported and uniformly dispersed on the surface of MXene. Then the adsorption batch experiment was carried out, adsorption time, pH and other factors on the adsorption performance of the adsorbents were studied in details. By calculating the enthalpy change, Gibbs free energy and thermodynamic parameters, the adsorption reaction was found to be an exothermic process. The adsorption kinetics measured the maximum adsorption capacity of 80 mg/g and the removal efficiency is as high as 80% and the adsorption equilibrium time has also been improved. The adsorption kinetics were well fitted by pseudo first-order and second-order models. All the above results demonstrated that the composite from mussel-inspired chemistry has excellent adsorption properties towards iodine ions. This study not only deepens the research on the adsorption behavior of iodine adsorption, but also provides new research directions and experimental methods for pseudo-iodine adsorption.

Faced with severe corrosion of casing in oil wells, the epoxy coating was applied to prevent corrosion. Based on the mechanism that the filler eliminated the internal stress during the curing process of the coating and prevented the penetration of corrosive medium into the coating, a new filler was successfully prepared by the hydrothermal method . When the molar ratio of the precursor of ZrO 2 to MoS 2 was 1.2:1, MoS 2 was uniformly modified with ZrO 2 through mussel inspired chemistry of dopamine. Introducing fillers into epoxy coatings, specifically, a proper content of 0.8 wt.% filler can greatly improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the coatings. The coating maintained the excellent corrosion resistance for 16 h under high temperature (108 °C) and high pressure (pressurized with CO 2 gas of 35 MPa), which would provide us a reliable anticorrosive coating for oil wells metal casing.

In this work, a novel strategy for surface modification of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was developed via combination of mussel inspired chemistry and chain transfer free radical polymerization. First, pristine CNTs were functionalized with polydopamine (PDA), which is formed via self-polymerization of dopamine in alkaline conditions. These PDA functionalized CNTs can be further reacted with amino-terminated polymers (named as PDMC), which was synthesized through chain transfer free radical polymerization using cysteamine hydrochloride as chain transfer agent and methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride as the monomer. PDMC perfectly conjugated with CNT-PDA was ascertained by a series of characterization techniques including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The dispersibility of obtained CNT nanocomposites (named as CNT-PDA-PDMC) was further examined. Results showed that the dispersibility of CNT-PDA-PDMC in aqueous and organic solutions was obviously enhanced. Apart from PDMC, many other amino-terminated polymers can also be used to functionalization of CNTs via similar strategy. Therefore, the method described in this work should be a general strategy for fabrication various polymer nanocomposites.
