Journal ArticleDOI
Superhydrophilic anti-fouling electrospun cellulose acetate membranes coated with chitin nanocrystals for water filtration
TL;DR: In this paper, the chitin nanocrystal surface coating significantly impacted the surface properties of the membranes, producing a super-hydrophilic membrane (contact angle 0°) from the original hydrophobic CA mats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial and antibiofilm efficacy of self-cleaning surfaces functionalized by TiO2 photocatalytic nanoparticles against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas putida.
TL;DR: The importance of bacterial colonization during dark periods and the difficulty of removing the structure of biofilms is highlighted and the importance of photodegradation of methylene blue is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waterborne nanocellulose coatings for improving the antifouling and antibacterial properties of polyethersulfone membranes

TL;DR: In this article, a water-borne nanocellulose coating process was proposed to change the surface characteristics and mitigate fouling of commercially available polyethersulfone (PES) microfiltration membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fully bio-based zwitterionic membranes with superior antifouling and antibacterial properties prepared via surface-initiated free-radical polymerization of poly(cysteine methacrylate)
TL;DR: In this article, a strategy to prepare membranes that combine the network characteristics of micro/nanocellulose with grafted zwitterionic poly(cysteine methacrylate) (PCysMA) to develop fully bio-based membranes with antifouling properties was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial surfaces prepared by electrospray coating of photocatalytic nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, electrospray was used to create photocatalytic TiO2 coatings and to study their antibacterial and antibiofilm capacity, and the results showed that the electrosplayed surfaces experienced extensive colonization by viable bacteria and clear biofilm formation revealed by exopolysaccharide matrix visualization.
