“…The development of Ag and Au-based antimicrobial therapeutics is a complicated subject since the acknowledgment of various silver resistant strains in recent years [ 25 , 171 ]. Ag and Au NPs can be applied as antibacterial agents to afford or transport drugs in a directed manner and can solve critical complications, including multidrug resistance [ 25 ]. Multifunctional Ag and Au-based materials can be applied in combination therapy [ 172 ].…”

“…Nanoparticles (NPs) can offer an alternative possible solution to battle MDR pathogens [ 22 , 23 ]. In fact, NPs with a size of less than 100 nm show a higher toxicity due to their exclusive possessions [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Several NPs, including silver (Ag) and gold (Au) NPs (and also copper (Cu) NPs [ 29 , 30 , 31 ], zinc ( Zn ) NPs [ 30 , 32 , 33 ], Nickel ( Ni ) NPs [ 34 ], platinum (Pt) NPs [ 35 ], and palladium (Pd) NPs [ 32 , 34 ]), have exposed different antimicrobial activities based on the physicochemical properties of each metal nanomaterial.…”

Several pieces of research have been done on transition metal nanoparticles and their nanocomplexes as research on their physical and chemical properties and their relationship to biological features are of great importance. Among all their biological properties, the antibacterial and antimicrobial are especially important due to their high use for human needs. In this article, we will discuss the different synthesis and modification methods of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) nanoparticles and their physicochemical properties. We will also review some state-of-art studies and find the best relationship between the nanoparticles’ physicochemical properties and potential antimicrobial activity. The possible antimicrobial mechanism of these types of nanoparticles will be discussed in-depth as well.

“…The key problem in wastewater treatment utilizing polymer-based membranes is developing low-cost and high-performance antifouling membranes. Membrane fouling lowers the lifespan of membranes [ 1 , 81 , 82 , 83 ]. Real-world membrane use requires the creation of cost-effective wettable polymeric membranes.…”

“…Recently, the development of new antifouling materials has involved complex synthesis of additives. Some studies combine two sets of additives and blend them together into the polymeric matrix [ 81 , 289 , 350 , 351 , 352 , 353 , 354 ] to improve both antifouling properties and photocatalytic activities of the prepared membranes. However, this should be carried out with great consideration with regards to the ensuing thermodynamics instability of the system, and how this could also influence the viscosity and kinetics of the phase separation.…”

Recent Advances on the Fabrication of Antifouling Phase-Inversion Membranes by Physical Blending Modification Method

Membrane technology is an essential tool for water treatment and biomedical applications. Despite their extensive use in these fields, polymeric-based membranes still face several challenges, including instability, low mechanical strength, and propensity to fouling. The latter point has attracted the attention of numerous teams worldwide developing antifouling materials for membranes and interfaces. A convenient method to prepare antifouling membranes is via physical blending (or simply blending), which is a one-step method that consists of mixing the main matrix polymer and the antifouling material prior to casting and film formation by a phase inversion process. This review focuses on the recent development (past 10 years) of antifouling membranes via this method and uses different phase-inversion processes including liquid-induced phase separation, vapor induced phase separation, and thermally induced phase separation. Antifouling materials used in these recent studies including polymers, metals, ceramics, and carbon-based and porous nanomaterials are also surveyed. Furthermore, the assessment of antifouling properties and performances are extensively summarized. Finally, we conclude this review with a list of technical and scientific challenges that still need to be overcome to improve the functional properties and widen the range of applications of antifouling membranes prepared by blending modification.

“…Membrane-based processes are environmentally friendly as they rely on the principle of physical separation ( Ali et al, 2021 ). Furthermore, it is possible to use different types of membranes (e.g., polymeric, ceramic) in this method in order to increase its versatility to treat fluids with a broad spectrum of characteristics and properties ( Arumugham et al, 2021 ; Vatanpour et al, 2022b ). This is because of the fact that each membrane has its own unique advantages and disadvantages, as well as the ability to provide different results and functions ( Zirehpour and Rahimpour, 2016 ).…”
