Abstract Covalent bonding of graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs) onto amino modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane has generated a new type nano-carbon functionalized with significantly enhanced antibacterial and antibiofouling properties. A continuous filtration test using E. coli containing feedwater shows that the relative flux drop over GOQDs PVDF is 23%, which lower than those pristine (86%) GO-sheet (62%) after 10 h filtration. The presence GOQD coating layer effectively...

A sulfonated graphene oxide@metal–organic framework-modified forward osmosis nanocomposite (SGO@UiO-66-TFN) membrane was developed to improve stability and heavy metal removal performance. An in situ growth method applied uniformly distribute UiO-66 nanomaterial with a frame structure on SGO nanosheets form SGO@UiO-66 composite nanomaterial. This then added polyamide layer using interfacial polymerization. The cross-linking between m-phenylenediamine improved the of membrane. Additionally,...

A fiber-optic sensor is designed based on multicavity Fabry–Perot interferometry for the study of optical thickness in self-assembled thin-film layers. This miniature applicable not only to measurement polyelectrolyte layers but also immobilization proteins such as immunoglobulin G (IgG). The binding IgG and corresponding antigen observed, nonspecific characteristics are investigated. changes used evaluate immunological activities immobilized

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and chlorinated polyvinyl (CPVC) were used as membrane materials to fabricate blend ultrafiltration membranes. Polyethylene glycol (PEG2000) polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide-polyethylene oxide triblock copolymer (Pluronic F127) both pore forming agent surface modifier improve the permeability. The advantage of amphiphilic Pluronic F127 is that it enables higher −CH2–CH2–O– segment coverage on surfaces. increase CPVC proportion in could water fluxes PVC/CPVC...

Nitrogen heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) are emerging as effective substitutes for conventional thiol ligands in surface functionalization of nanoparticles (NPs), offering exceptional stability to NPs under harsh conditions. However, the highly reactive feature NHCs limits their use introducing chemically active groups onto NP surface. Herein, we develop a general yet robust strategy efficient with copolymer bearing various functional groups. The polymer consist multiple block, utilized binding...
