Abstract

This paper presents the preparation of the PET membrane for effective organic solvent separation achieved through an advanced superhydrophobic surface engineering of PET fabric utilizing biomimicry and a green chemistry approach. The superhydrophobicity of the PET surface was reached through a hierarchical nanocomposite coating that involved the integration of biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) coating, green-synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs), and non-fluorinated quaternary ammonium cation silane (Si-QAC) coverage. The morphology and surface chemical composition of the resultant Si-QAC/ZnO/PDA@PET membrane were characterized by SEM, EDS, FT-IR, XRD, and AFM analysis. The surface topography and water contact angle were also correlated with surface roughness and its superhydrophobicity. The resulting Si-QAC/ZnO/PDA@PET membrane exhibited promising superhydrophobic properties, characterized by a water contact angle ranging from 150° to 160° and a roll-off angle between 5° and 2° as well as stability against severe conditions, including acidic and alkaline exposure, mechanical abrasion, and UV radiations. Moreover, the Si-QAC/ZnO/PDA@PET membrane exhibited bacterial repulsive properties against E. coli and Staphylococcus sp. The separation efficiency of various aliphatic and aromatic organic solvents (n-hexane, toluene, chloroform, and petroleum ether) from water higher than 90 % was also observed, making the membrane a potential candidate for different industrial applications, particularly for the separation of organic solvents from water.

用于先进水溶剂分离的 PET 织物的绿色超疏水表面工程

本文介绍了利用仿生学和绿色化学方法，通过对 PET 织物进行先进的超疏水表面工程，制备出可有效分离有机溶剂的 PET 膜。PET 表面的超疏水性是通过分层纳米复合涂层实现的，其中包括仿生物聚多巴胺（PDA）涂层、绿色合成的氧化锌（ZnO）纳米颗粒（NPs）和非氟化季铵阳离子硅烷（Si-QAC）覆盖层。通过 SEM、EDS、傅立叶变换红外光谱、XRD 和原子力显微镜分析，对 Si-QAC/ZnO/PDA@PET 膜的形貌和表面化学成分进行了表征。表面形貌和水接触角也与表面粗糙度及其超疏水性相关。所制备的 Si-QAC/ZnO/PDA@PET 膜具有良好的超疏水性能，其水接触角在 150° 至 160° 之间，滚落角在 5° 至 2° 之间，并且在酸性和碱性暴露、机械磨损和紫外线辐射等恶劣条件下具有稳定性。此外，Si-QAC/ZnO/PDA@PET 膜对大肠杆菌和葡萄球菌也有抑菌作用。从水中分离各种脂肪族和芳香族有机溶剂（正己烷、甲苯、氯仿和石油醚）的效率也高于 90%，这使得该膜成为不同工业应用，特别是从水中分离有机溶剂的潜在候选材料。
