We report a new macromolecular architecture of dual functional block copolymer brushes on commercial thin-film composite (TFC) membranes for integrated "defending" and "attacking" strategies against biofouling. Mussel-inspired catechol chemistry is used convenient immobilization initiator molecules to the membrane surface with aid polydopamine (PDA). Zwitterionic polymer strong hydration capacity quaternary ammonium salt (QAS) bactericidal ability are sequentially grafted TFC via activators...

By exploiting mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) chemistry, diverse types PDA-functionalized sorbents including magnetic nanoparticle (MNP), ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC), glass fiber carpet (GFC) were synthesized. The PDA functional layers with abundant catechol amine/imine groups provided an excellent platform binding to uranium....
A key challenge of photoregulated living radical polymerization is developing efficient and robust photocatalysts. Now carbon dots (CDs) have been exploited for the first time as metal-free photocatalysts visible-light-regulated reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Screening diverse heteroatom-doped CDs suggested that P- S-doped were effective RAFT under mild visible light following a photoinduced electron transfer (PET) involved oxidative quenching...
Azo polymer brushes (G-PCN) on graphene nanosheets are prepared through a "grafting-from" approach.

Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) membranes with unique nanolayer structure have demonstrated excellent separation capability based on their size‐selective effect, but there are few reports achieving ion–ion separation, because it is difficult to inhibit the swelling effect of GO nano sheets as well precisely control interlayer spacing d a specific value between sizes different metal ions. Here, selective uranium from acidic radioactive waste containing multication achieved through precise...
