“…XPS analysis of the pulsed plasma poly(vinylbenzyl chloride)-functionalized cloth prior to reaction with DMAM-calixarene gave surface elemental compositions in good agreement with expected theoretical values, Table . ,,, This confirms conformal coating of the nonwoven polypropylene fibers. A small amount of aerial oxidation was evident because of the reaction of trapped free radicals within the deposited plasma polymer film. − …”

Chromium(VI) contamination of drinking water arises from industrial activity wherever there is a lack of environmental legislation enforcement regarding the removal of such pollutants. Whilst it is possible to remove such harmful metal ions from drinking water through large scale facilities, there currently exists no safe and simple way to filter chromium(VI) oxoanions at point-of-use (which is potentially safer and necessary in remote locations or humanitarian scenarios). High surface area cloth substrates have been functionalized with calixarene molecules for the selective capture of aqueous chromium(VI) oxoanions in the presence of structurally similar anions. This is accomplished by pulsed plasmachemical deposition of a linker layer and subsequent functionalization with dimethylaminomethyl-calixarene (5,11,17,23tetrakis[(dimethylamino)methyl]-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxycalix[4]arene, DMAMcalixarene). Chromium(VI) oxoanions are captured by simply passing polluted water through the functionalised cloth, whilst other ions not harmful / beneficial to human health remain in the water. These cloth filters are simple to use, highly selective, and easily recyclable-thus making them attractive for point-of-use application in geographic regions lacking appropriate wastewater treatment plants or flawed environmental monitoring systems. Chromium(VI) pollutants have been successfully removed from real-world contaminated industrial wastewater streams using the dimethylaminomethyl-calixarene functionalised cloths.

Surface-Initiated Controlled Radical Polymerization: State-of-the-Art, Opportunities, and Challenges in Surface and Interface Engineering with Polymer Brushes

The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.
