Making polymeric membranes antifouling via “grafting from” polymerization of zwitterions

Abstract: Protein‐fouling of membranes has negative effects on the wide applications of membrane materials, such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), poly(ether sulfone) (PES)/polysulfone (PSf). Zwitterionic materials have recently been used and identified from high throughput screens of large libraries of monomers to modify membranes due to their stable anti‐protein‐fouling properties. “Grafting from” polymerization is a technique involving monomers that are polymerized using an initiation reaction on the membrane surf… Show more

“…In polymer grafting, a small rigid chain of different polymers like aromatic chains is incorporated into the polymer matrix. This technique can also suppress plasticization to some extent at higher pressures [121,122]. Duthie et al [123] used polymer grafting to suppress plasticization in polyimide membranes.…”

“…Currently, most studies are focused on three common materials, such as PSBMA, PMPC and PCBA. More thorough studies in the structure and property relationship are needed to design the most suitable zwitterions for different applications [82,83], since real wastewaters may contain various foulants, such as algae, bacteria and proteins [58]. …”
