Asymmetric layer-by-layer polyelectrolyte nanofiltration membranes with tunable retention

Nanofiltration (NF) membrane processes are attractive to remove multivalent ions. As ion retention in NF membranes is determined by both size and charge exclusion, negatively charged membranes are required to reject negatively charged ions. Layer-by-layer assembly of alternating polycation (PC) and polyanion layers on top of a support is a versatile method to produce membranes. Especially the polyelectrolyte (PE) couple polydiallyldimethylammoniumchloride and poly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PDADMAC/PSS) is extensively investigated. This PE couple cannot form highly negatively charged membrane surfaces, due to interdiffusion and charge overcompensation of PDADMAC into the PSS layers, which limits the operational window to tailor membrane properties. We propose the use of asymmetric layer formation and show how combining two charge densities of one PC can produce negatively charged NF membranes. Starting from hollow fiber ultrafiltration supports coated with base layers of PDADMAC/PSS, they are coated with PDADMAC/PSS or poly(acrylamide-co-diallyldimethylammoniumchloride), P(AM-co-DADMAC)/PSS layers. P(AM-co-DADMAC) has a charge density of only 32% compared to 100% for PDADMAC. The particular novel membranes coated with P(AM-co-DADMAC) have a highly negatively charged surface and high permeabilities (7–19 L/[m²hbar]), with high retentions for Na₂SO₄ of up to 95%. These values position the developed membranes in the top range compared to commercial and other layer-by-layer membranes.     

Incorporation of Carbon Nanotubes into Hollow Microcapsules Using a Removable Template Assembly

Summary: Carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were assembled with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) onto decomposable colloidal particles, to subsequently yield hollow microcapsules after core removal. A sandwich structure with MWNTs layer embedded in poly(styrenesulfonate sodium salt) (PSS)/PAH multilayers was designed and constructed on melamine formaldehyde particles. Transmission electron microscopy and confocal microscopy revealed the hollow structure and good dispersity of the resultant microcapsules. The MWNTs were uniformly distributed on the capsule walls.

Swelling and shrinking of polyelectrolyte microcapsules in response to changes in temperature and ionic strength

Swelling and shrinking of polyelectrolyte microcapsules consisting of poly(styrene sulfonate, sodium salt) (PSS) and poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium) chloride (PDADMAC) multilayers have been observed in response to temperature and electrolyte exposure, respectively. Heat-induced capsule swelling and capsule wall volume reduction were observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning force microscopy (SFM). On the other hand, pronounced shrinking in diameter induced by exposure to an electrolyte was observed in parallel to increases in the thickness of the capsule wall. The estimated wall volume was reduced to two thirds of the control for the salt-exposed capsules and one half for the salt-exposed and simultaneously annealed capsules. This reduction in volume was supposedly mainly caused by the compression of the capsule wall due to the ionic screening from the electrolyte. The highly porous microstructure of the multilayers and loosely bound PSS/PDADMAC complex are thought to be responsible for the structure of the PSS/PDADMAC capsules being easily modulated upon annealing and salt-exposure.     

Creating a Biomimetic Microenvironment for the Ex Vivo Expansion of Primary Human T Lymphocytes

The ex vivo expansion of primary human T cells is of considerable interest. Current protocols call for the addition of massive amounts of stimuli. This study presents as alternative the expansion of such cells in semipermeable sodium cellulose sulfate/poly(diallyldimethyl) ammonium chloride (SCS/PDADMAC) polyelectrolyte microcapsules, which supports at least six cell divisions and results in >40 × 10⁶ cells mL_capsule⁻¹ within less than 10 d. Inside the microcapsules, the T cells are suspended in a viscous SCS‐solution. The low molecular weight cut off (<10 000 Da) of the surrounding polyelectrolyte membrane assures that typical signaling molecules produced by the cells are retained, while nutrients and metabolites can pass. Expensive additives, such as interleukin‐2 (IL‐2), can be coencapsulated. Expansion then no longer requires specialized T‐cell media. Moreover, these results suggest that an SCS with a low degree of sulfation has biomimetic properties, representing an artificial extracellular matrix mimicking heparin sulfate.     

Modulating the structure and properties of poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) multilayers with concentrated salt solutions

Poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS)/poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) multilayers were treated with 1-5 M NaCl solutions, resulting in continuous changes in the physicochemical properties of the multilayers. Significant mass loss was observed when the salt concentration was higher than 2 M and reached as high as 72% in a 5 M NaCl solution. The disassembly occurred initially in the superficial layers and then developed in the bulk multilayers. For the multilayers with PDADMAC as the outmost layer, the molar ratio of PSS/PDADMAC was increased and the surface chemistry was changed from PDADMAC domination below 2 M NaCl to PSS domination above 3 M NaCl. Owing to the higher concentrations of uncompensated for polyelectrolytes at both lower and higher salt concentrations, the swelling ratio of the multilayers was decreased until reaching 3 M NaCl and then was increased significantly again. The salt-treated PSS/PDADMAC thin films are expected to show different behaviors in terms of the physical adsorption of various functional substances, cell adhesion and proliferation, and chemical reaction activity.     

Controlled Stripping of Polyelectrolyte Multilayers by Quaternary Ammonium Surfactants

The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation technique (QCM‐D) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) have been employed to study the interaction of N‐tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TdTmAB) with polyelectrolyte multilayers containing poly(sodium 4‐styrene sulfonate) (PSS) as the polyanion and either poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) or poly(diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) as the polycations. The multilayers were exposed to aqueous solutions of TdTmAB. This resulted in a selective removal of PDADMAC PSS layers while layers with PAH as polycation remained stable. It is suggested that PDADMAC/PSS multilayers can be employed as strippable protecting layers.

     

Polyelectrolyte multilayers on wood fibers: influence of molecular weight on layer properties and mechanical properties of papers from treated fibers

This paper compares the influence of the molecular weight of polylelectrolytes forming polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) on wood fibers on adhesion and paper strength. Sheets were made from fibers treated with poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)/poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of molecular mass 70,000 and 240,000, respectively, and of poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) of molecular mass 30,000 and 80,000, respectively. The results were compared to what has recently been reported for PEM formation on fibers using a low-molecular-mass combination of PAH and PAA and a high-molecular-mass combination of PDADMAC/PSS. There was a less significant improvement in the case of the low-molecular-mass PDADMAC/PSS and the high-molecular-mass PAH/PAA. The adsorbed amounts of PAH and PDADMAC were also determined, showing a lower adsorbed amount of the low-molecular-mass PAH than of the high-molecular-mass PDADMAC. The amount of low-molecular-mass PDADMAC was similar to that found for high-molecular-mass PDADMAC/PSS. Individual fibers were partly treated and studied, showing a less significant decrease in wettability with low-molecular-mass PDADMAC/PSS than with the high-molecular-mass combination. The effect of the molecular weight on the adhesion was discussed in terms of the structure and wettability of the PEMs.     

Thermal transitions in and structures of dried polyelectrolytes and polyelectrolyte complexes

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was used to explore the thermomechanical properties of dried polyelectrolytes and polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) with different thermal and humidity histories. Although differences in the amount of water remaining in polyelectrolytes and PECs were small for ambient versus dessicator storage, the properties of polyelectrolyte‐based materials were drastically different for different humidity histories. Glass transition temperatures (T_gs) of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) were shown to vary by 100 °C, depending on humidity and thermal histories. These parameters also change glassy storage modulus values by 100%. Furthermore, we observe that dried PDADMAC is highly lossy. DMA of dried poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) was more complex and did not exhibit a glass transition in the tested range. DMA of a PEC of PDADMAC and PSS revealed a humidity history‐dependent water melt in the first heating cycle, as well as storage modulus values of dried and annealed PECs that only varied by 17–26% over a 275 °C temperature range. Based on these results, we report for the first time humidity history as controlling structure and properties of polyelectrolyte‐based materials. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

Influence of polyelectrolyte multilayer adsorption on the temperature sensitivity of poly(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAM) microgels

The electrophoretic mobility and temperature-dependent particle size of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNiPAM) microgels after alternating adsorption of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS) have been determined. First a PNiPAM-co-acrylic acid (AAc) shell was added to the PNiPAM microgel, then PDADMAC and PSS were adsorbed alternately. The studies of the electrophoretic mobility revealed charge reversal when a polyelectrolyte (PE) layer was adsorbed. Particle size measurements revealed a strong influence of polyelectrolyte adsorption on the temperature-dependent particle swelling. The strong influence of the adsorbed polyelectrolyte on the particle size is in contrast to polyelectrolyte multilayer adsorption on rigid particles.     

Multilayer polyelectrolyte films as nanofiltration membranes for separating monovalent and divalent cations

Alternating adsorption of polyanions and polycations on porous supports provides a convenient way to prepare ion-selective nanofiltration membranes. This work examines optimization of ultrathin, multilayer polyelectrolyte films for monovalent/divalent cation separations relevant to water softening. Membranes composed of five bilayers of poly(styrene sulfonate)/poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PSS/PAH) on porous alumina supports allow a solution flux of 0.85 m³/(m² day) at 4.8 bar, and exhibit 95% rejection of MgCl₂ along with a Na⁺/Mg²⁺ selectivity of 22. Similar results were obtained in Na⁺/Ca²⁺ separations. PSS/poly(diallyl-dimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) films permit higher fluxes than PSS/PAH systems due to the higher swelling of films containing PDADMAC, but the Mg²⁺ rejection by PSS/PDADMAC membranes is less than 45%. However, capping PSS/PDADMAC films with a bilayer of PSS/PAH yields Mg²⁺ rejections and Na⁺/Mg²⁺ selectivities that are typical of pure PSS/PAH membranes. Separation performance can be optimized through control over deposition conditions (pH and supporting electrolyte concentration) and the charge of the outer layer since Donnan exclusion is a major factor in monovalent/divalent cation selectivity. Streaming potential measurements demonstrate that the magnitude of positive surface charge increases with increasing concentrations of Mg²⁺ in solution or when the outer polycation layer is deposited from a solution of high ionic strength.
