“…The typical anionic group for zwitterion is a quaternary ammonium group, while the cationic groups include sulfonic, carboxylic, and phosphoric groups. In the past 20 years, zwitterions such as phosphobetaine and sulfobetaine were widely applied in the modification of polymer membranes, which not only facilitate water transport through the membranes, but also improve their antifouling properties . The monomers of phosphobetaine, sulfobetaine, and carboxybetaine, such as MPC, sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA), and carboxybetaine methacrylate (CBMA), respectively, have similar structures, as shown in Figure .…”

“…Moreover, poly(sulfobetaine) has a very small disruptive effect on the structure of the hydrogen‐bonding network of water molecules in dilute solutions because of the intra‐ and inter‐tether proximity between the oppositely charged groups . In the past 10 years, preparation and characterization of sulfobetaine polymers have been extensively studied …”

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 surface. It is regarded as a simple, useful, and versatile modification approach to increase the anti‐fouling properties of a membrane. This strategy provides controllable introduction of graft chains with a high density and a long‐term chemical stability due to covalent attachment of graft chains. Graft density, chemistry, chain length, and conformation are all important parameters that need to be considered. This article presents a mini‐review of recent progress on the “grafting from” polymerization of zwitterionic monomers on the surfaces of PVDF and PES/PSf membranes, including an introduction of zwitterions and methods of graft polymerization. Various approaches such as free radical graft polymerization, photo‐induced graft polymerization, and plasma‐induced graft polymerization were compared based on uniformity and amount of grafted zwitterionic polymer, relative flux of modified membranes, simplicity and environment pollution of operation, and cost of technique. The application of different approaches and the performance of poly(zwitterion)‐grafted PVDF and PES/PSf membranes are summarized according to recent research. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

“…The PVDF membranes covered with amphiphilic PPO-b-PSBMA were able to successfully repel nonspecific protein surface adsorption throughout the dynamic filtration process and featuring minor irreversible flux decline ratio of 4.1% [29]. The zwitterionic colloid particles-coated PSf membranes have been reported as showing positive antifouling properties and facilitating a stable nanofiltration function when confronted with humic acid and BSA in a 30 h of filtration test scenario [30]. In order to produce durable membranes that can maintain stable effluent quality for long-duration water treatment operation, research has been focused towards membranes with self-healable antifouling properties.…”

Application fields of the biomimetic and bioinspired membranes are very similar to those of the existing synthetic membranes. Due to the hierarchical structures, as well as controlled selective transport and stability/resistance, the biomimetic and bioinspired membranes have extended applications in sustainable resources, environment, and energy aspects. The most important applications of biomimetic and bioinspired membranes are water treatment, clean energy, carbon capture, and health care.

“…Many kinds of nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanofibers and nanosheets) have been introduced into the active layer in membrane preparation [34][35][36]. As 2D materials with high specific surface areas, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have shown to be capable of improving water permeability of NF membranes [37][38][39].…”
