The advancement in membrane science and technology, particularly in nanofiltration applications, involves the blending of functional nanocomposites into the membranes to improve the membrane property. In this study, Ag-polydopamine (Ag-PDA) particles were synthesized through in situ PDA-mediated reduction of AgNO to silver. Infusing Ag-PDA particles into polyethersulfone (PES) matrix affects the membrane property and performance. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses confirmed the presence of Ag-PDA particles on the membrane surface. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) describe the morphology of the membranes. At an optimum concentration of Ag-PDA particles (0.3 wt % based on the concentration of PES), the modified membrane exhibited high water flux 13.33 L∙m∙h at 4 bar with high rejection for various dyes of >99%. The PES membrane had a pure water flux more than 5.4 times higher than that of a pristine membrane. Furthermore, in bacterial attachment using , the modified membrane displayed less bacterial attachment compared with the pristine membrane. Therefore, immobilizing Ag-PDA particles into the PES matrix enhanced the membrane performance and antibacterial property.
膜科学与技术的进步,尤其是在纳滤应用方面,涉及将功能性纳米复合材料混入膜中以改善膜性能。在本研究中,通过原位聚多巴胺(PDA)介导将硝酸银还原为银来合成银 - 聚多巴胺(Ag - PDA)颗粒。将Ag - PDA颗粒注入聚醚砜(PES)基质会影响膜的性能。X射线光电子能谱(XPS)分析证实了膜表面存在Ag - PDA颗粒。场发射扫描电子显微镜(FESEM)和原子力显微镜(AFM)描述了膜的形态。在Ag - PDA颗粒的最佳浓度(基于PES浓度为0.3 wt%)下,改性膜在4巴压力下表现出高水通量13.33 L∙m⁻²∙h⁻¹,对各种染料的截留率> 99%。PES膜的纯水通量比原始膜高5.4倍以上。此外,在使用[此处原文缺失相关细菌附着实验的具体内容]进行细菌附着实验时,与原始膜相比,改性膜显示出较少的细菌附着。因此,将Ag - PDA颗粒固定到PES基质中增强了膜性能和抗菌性能。
