Zhejiang University, Huang Xiaojun team PVDF oil-water separation membrane made progress series biological detection field gradient sensing membrane
(a) ACS Appl Mater.Interfaces :. PVDF oil and water separation membrane material new results frequent oil spills and industrial oily wastewater the massive emissions seriously pollute the environment and endanger human health, especially acidic oily wastewater and industrial fields generated in recent years has aroused widespread concern, the development of suitable acidic environment and excellent acid stability of oil-water separator materials imminent, become a research hotspot one. Polyamide – amine (of PAMAM) dendrimers have a large number of molecules outside of primary amino groups, and increases the number of amino algebraic increases, a large number of active sites under acidic conditions, is expected to continue to address this challenge. This membrane structure from the design team, select no dense skin PVDF membrane as a base material, the first acrylic acid grafted PVDF (PVDF-g-PAA) separation membranes prepared by cold plasma polymerization techniques. On this basis, the amide functionalized SiO 2 nanoparticles grafted onto PVDF-g-PAA improve the surface roughness of the film surface; further, by interfacial polymerization (IP) technology PAMAM dendrimers fixing to improve the surface energy on the film surface. Through the micro-nano-roughness, high surface energy, combine multiple amino acidic environment in response to site-modified to achieve a superhydrophilic film and underwater superoleophobic properties; water contact angle and the contact angle of the resulting modified subsea oil film respectively 0 ° and 150 °, at 0.9 bar higher than the flux of 3100 L / (m 2 · h)], the separation efficiency is higher than 99%. Most importantly, the PAMAM chain amino group by protonation under acidic conditions so as to extend from a collapsed state to a full state of loose, imparting a film having a more excellent anti-adhesion properties droplets, pollution resistance, stability and reusability. This working emulsion corrosive oil-water separation under acidic conditions provides a good application prospect is.

Glucose, for example, by electrostatic interaction of the highly sensitive fluorescent or optical chromogenic reagent is immobilized in the HFM. Produced enzymes react with glucose hydroxyl radical quenching occurs so PyroninG fluorescent reagent, the glucose concentration quenching efficiency was a good linear relationship (1~22mM, R 2 = 0.997). In addition, the sensor platform may also be used to analyze urine protein or glucose detection in the visible spectrum, it has a wide range of tests. Compared with the conventional two-dimensional device, this 3D-HFM microfluidic device exhibits excellent versatility and homogeneity, and having a greater dynamic range of detection, high sensitivity and accuracy of response. The biosensor platform integration of target molecules selectively screening, enzyme identification, signaling biomolecules and read as a whole, this rapid detection devices based on the new biological polymer hollow fiber membrane substrate in a biochemical detection and biosensing field has great prospects.
