Probing molecular-level surface structures of polyethersulfone/pluronic F127 blends using sum-frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy

We blended Pluronic F127 into polyethersulfone (PES) to improve surface properties of PES, which has been extensively used in biomaterial and other applications. The molecular surface structures of PES/Pluronic F127 blends have been investigated by sum-frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. The molecular orientation of surface functional groups of PES changed significantly when blended with a small amount of Pluornic F127. Pluronic F127 on the blend surface also exhibited different features upon contacting with water. The entanglement of PES chains with Pluronic F127 molecules rendered the blends with long-term surface stability in water in contrast to the situation where a layer of Pluronic F127 adsorbed on the PES surface. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements were included to determine the relative amount of protein that adsorbed to the blend surfaces. The results showed a decreased protein adsorption amount with increasing Pluronic F127 bulk concentration. The correlations between polymer surface properties and detailed molecular structures obtained by SFG would provide insight into the designing and developing of biomedical polymers and functional membranes with improved fouling-resistant properties.     

An efficient nanofiltration membrane based on blending of polyethersulfone with modified (styrene/maleic anhydride) copolymer

In this study, styrene–maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer was modified by ring opening reaction of its anhydride groups with diethanolamine (DEA). The modified SMA copolymer was blended in different concentrations (2.5, 4 and 5.5 %) with Polyethersulfone (PES) to improve the hydrophilicity of PES membranes and the corresponding blend membrane was prepared through phase inversion. The influence of SMA copolymer on morphology, mechanical properties, water flux, rejection and anti-fouling properties of blend membrane were investigated. The modified SMA and their composition were confirmed by FT-IR and ¹HNMR techniques. The asymmetric structure of membrane was revealed by SEM. The water flux and contact angle results show that the hydrophilicity of membrane surface was increased by addition of SMA copolymer. The better anti-fouling properties of the PES/modified SMA blend membranes in comparison with the PES membrane also confirmed that the hydrophilicity of blend membrane enhances.     

Improved protein-adsorption-resistant property of PES/SPC blend membrane by adjustment of coagulation bath composition

To improve surface protein-adsorption-resistant property of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes, soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) was added to PES casting solution. The blend membranes were prepared by a phase inversion method in a wet process. The surface of PES/SPC blend membranes was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XPS data revealed that the phosphorylcholine (PC) groups were concentrated at the surface by changing the composition of coagulation bath. Addition of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in coagulation bath could prolong coagulation time and facilitate the migration of SPC from polymer bulk to membrane surface. The PES/SPC blend membranes dramatically reduced BSA and fibrinogen adsorption compared to PES control membrane due to effective immobilization of PC groups at the surface of PES/SPC blend membranes.     

Improved protein-adsorption resistance of polyethersulfone membranes via surface segregation of ultrahigh molecular weight poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride)

A styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) alternating copolymer with ultrahigh molecular weight (M_w > 10⁶) synthesized in super critical carbon dioxide (SC CO₂) medium was used as hydrophilic polymeric additive in the preparation of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes. The PES/SMA blend membranes were prepared by immersion precipitation process. X-ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS) measurements confirmed that the hydrolyzed SMA preferentially segregated to membrane–coagulant interface during membrane formation. For the PES/SMA blend membranes, no big change was observed in the cross-sectional structure and the mechanical properties were well maintained after SMA addition except that a thicker top layer was formed. The surface morphology analysis by atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed that the membrane surface roughness increased with the added SMA amount. The results of water contact angle, water absorbance measurements and static protein adsorption experiments revealed that the surface enrichment of SMA endowed PES/SMA blend membranes with significantly improved surface hydrophilicity and protein-adsorption resistance.     

Characteristics of polyethersulfone/sulfonated polyimide blend membrane for proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Solution-cast membranes from sulfonated polyimide (SPI) and its blend were prepared from polyethersulfone (PES) and SPI. The water uptake and swelling were tested and compared between the SPI membrane and the four kinds of blend membranes. Through comparison of the stability of the membranes, we concluded that the PES could greatly increase the stability of the whole membrane and restrict the swelling. However, the PES did not decrease the water uptake very much. We also compared the fuel cell performance with different membranes. The performance was decreased when the content of the PES in the blend membrane increased. The loss of the fuel cell performance with the blend membranes did not decrease very much before the content of the PES was exceeded 20%. It was prospected that the blend membrane could increase the stability of the SPI and, more importantly, even replace the commercial Nafion membranes.     

Structure and microporous formation of cellulose/silk fibroin blend membranes: Part II. Effect of post-treatment by alkali

Blend membranes (RCF1) were prepared from mixture solution of cellulose and silk fibroin (SF) in cuoxam by coagulating with acetone–acetic acid (4:1 by volume). The blend membranes were subjected to post-treatment with 10% NaOH aqueous solution, and their structure and properties were characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, DSC, SEM and DMTA. In previous work, cellulose/SF blend membranes (RCF2) prepared by coagulating with 10% NaOH aqueous solution formed a microporous structure, in which the SF as a pore former was almost completely removed from the membrane. However, when the blend membranes RCF1 were immersed in 10% NaOH aqueous solution for post-treatment, a strong hydrogen bonding between cellulose and SF inhibited the removal of SF. Although alkali is a good solvent for SF, the blend membranes RCF1 such obtained from cellulose and SF were alkali resistant. The crystallinity and the mean pore size of the blend membranes slightly decreased with increasing post-treatment time. This work provided a cellulose/silk blend membrane, which can be used under alkaline medium.     

DMFC用PES/SPEEK共混阻醇质子交换膜

将磺化聚醚醚酮(SPEEK, 磺化度DS为68.3%)和聚醚砜(PES)两种聚合物共混制得PES/SPEEK共混膜. DSC研究表明两种聚合物之间具有较好的相容性, 因而共混膜均匀致密, 未发生大尺度相分离. PES的混入能有效降低膜的溶胀度及甲醇透过系数. 纯SPEEK 膜40 ℃时在1 mol•L−1甲醇水溶液中溶胀度达到160%, 45 ℃时就完全溶解, 而含30%(w)PES的共混膜在80 ℃时的溶胀度仅有15%. 室温下含20%−30%(w)PES的共混膜的甲醇透过系数为1×10−7 cm2•s−1左右, 比Nafion 115膜的透过系数小一个数量级. 尽管80 ℃下30%(w)PES/SPEEK共混膜的电导率与Nafion 115膜相当, 但由于共混膜的厚度比Nafion 115膜小1/3左右, 膜电阻较小, 因而其电池性能比Nafion 115膜的好.     

Protein-adsorption-resistance and permeation property of polyethersulfone and soybean phosphatidylcholine blend ultrafiltration membranes

Novel ultrafiltration membranes were prepared by simple blending of polyethersulfone (PES) and soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle measurements indicated SPC enrichment at the membrane surfaces. The immobilization and arrangement of PC groups at surfaces rendered the membranes more hydrophilic. BSA adsorption amount decreased from 56.2 μg/cm² for SPC-free PES membrane to 2.4 μg/cm² for PES/SPC blend membrane. The fouling-resistant property of the blend membranes was improved considerably with an increase of SPC content while the pure water permeation flux decreased remarkably. Using PEG/PVP mixture instead of PEG as pore-forming agent increased pure water flux of PES/SPC blend membrane to some extent.
