Considerable attention has been devoted to producing antibacterial fabrics due their very wide applications in medicine, hygiene, hospital, etc. However, the poor durability and bad bacterial antiadhesion capacity of most existing limit applications. In this work, a series polymeric quaternary ammonium monomers with different alkyl chain length were successfully synthesized copolymerize fluorine-containing other acrylic generate cationic fluorinated polymer emulsions durably bacterially...
Despite adopting diverse strategies and fabrication methods to prevent biofilm formation, the existing sophisticated for sole wettable or smart surfaces their unsatisfactory anti-adhesive durability need be improved practical applications.
Oil spills and industrial household oily wastewater discharge cause environmental economic concerns. Emerging Janus membranes have generated widespread interest as next-generation oil/water separation with anisotropic wettability because of their specific, on-demand ability. However, the one-step complex remains to be achieved. Herein, a pH-responsive modified polystyrene microspheres/zinc oxide/carbon nanotubes/polyvinylidene fluoride (S/PS/ZnO/CNTs/PVDF) membrane is rationally designed...
