Carbon nanotube bundling: influence on layer-by-layer assembly and antimicrobial activity

Abstract: Antimicrobial surfaces are potentially useful for a variety of health care related applications. Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have shown promise as antimicrobial agents, but important questions persist concerning the effects of tube bundling, a common phenomenon owing to strong hydrophobicity. We investigate 15 here the influence of bundling on the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of SWNT with charged polymers, and on the antimicrobial properties of the resultant films. We employ a poly(ethylene glycol) … Show more

“…In 2009, Yang et al prepared silver nanoparticle-coated commercial polyamide RO membrane and tested its anti-biofouling properties in seawater desalination process. 321 In 2014, it was found that graphene oxide (GO) possessed a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities. 317 In 2014, Elimelech et al modified polyamide RO membrane with silver nanoparticles via layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, followed by further modification with a polymer brush of poly(sulfobetaine) or PDMS.…”

“…[114]LBL assembly which can fabricate uniform and conformal films of thickness in nano-scale is more ideal to take use of CNTs because the antimicrobial properties can be achieved with minimum amount of nanotubes. [115] CNTs are mainly used as fillers to be dispersed into the polymer matrix when being used in desalination and it was found that incorporation of CNTs in polyamide layer can increase the water flux by more than a factor of 4 while retained same or slightly better selectivity. [113,[116][117][118] LBL assembled CNTs functionalized coating layers used to modify the filtration membranes have also seen some reports.…”
