ABSTRACT
This study reports a novel, multifunctional, and easily obtained modifier to support the rapid advancements in the field of filtration. Polydopamine (PDA) particles (PDAPs) have been reported as a filler for constructing polymer composites, but because of their poor thermal stability, the use of PDAPs in high-temperature blend melt systems to construct antifouling membranes was rare. In this paper, high-thermal-stability methoxy polyethylene glycol amine (mPEG-NH2)-functionalized PDA nanoparticles (mPDAPs) were first used as a modifier in high-temperature blend melt polymer composites to construct antifouling composite membranes. First, high-thermal-stability mPDAPs with an average diameter of about 390 nm were prepared by immobilized mPEG-NH2 on the PDAP surface, then melt blend mPDAPs with ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene/liquid paraffin (LP) solution and thermally reduced phase separation (TIPS) to construct antifouling membranes. A combination of properties including mechanical properties, filtration efficiency, and antifouling properties of hybrid composite membranes was investigated and demonstrated that mPDAPs were an efficient modifier for high-temperature melt blending systems. The aim of this study was to provide an effective approach to improve the membrane filtration performance by bulk hybrid modification of multifunctional nanoparticles.
