Polycyclopentene-Crystal-Decorated Carbon Nanotubes by Convenient Large-Scale In Situ Polymerization and their Lotus-Leaf-Like Superhydrophobic Films

Millimeter-scale calcium alginate aqueous core capsules (mm-CaSA-Caps) are suitable for embedding of temperature and chemical sensitive substances because of its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. In this study, mm-CaSA-Caps were coated with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) via in situ self-polymerization of dopamine (DA) under mild conditions. During the modification process, mm-CaSA-Caps transferred quickly from colorless and transparent capsules to dark and opaque “pearls” in 15 min. The obtained MWNTs-polydopamine- (PDA-) modified mm-CaSA-Caps (mm-MWNTs-PDA@CaSA-Caps) retained the spherical appearance of mm-CaSA-Caps with uniform coating of MWNTs-PDA. Obviously, the MWNTs were easily coated on the mm-PDA@CaSA-Caps due to the strong adhesive property of PDA. As the MWNTs content increased, the stacking density of MWNTs on surface of the mm-MWNTs-PDA@CaSA-Caps raised. The water loss ratio of mm-MWNTs-PDA@CaSA-Caps was enhanced ascribed to increasing the path length of water by raising stacking density of MWNTs. This study provided a new path for enhancement of the barrier property of hydrogel capsules.

Interface Layers

To overcome the limitations of large-scale applications for MOFs in the powder form, herein, we proposed a strategy of in-situ growth ZIF-8 onto polyaniline (PANI) modified coconut hydrogel (CCH). Firstly, PANI played the role of metal chelated layers, which were coated on CCH by in-situ polymerization. Then, ZIF-8 nanocrystals were in-situ growth on the surface of the PANI coated CCH to synthesise the composite adsorbent ZIF-8/PANI/CCH. Finally, after vacuum freeze-dried, a white and well structured ZIF-8/PANI/CCA(ZIF-8/polyaniline/coconut aerogel) was obtained. The loading mass ratios of ZIF-8 on CCA and PANI/CCA were 11.3% and 37.5%, respectively, which indicates that PANI as interface layers can effectively promote the in-situ growth of ZIF-8. The obtained composite adsorbent (ZIF-8/PANI/CCA) was applied for the adsorption of tetracycline (TC)，and the removal efficiency reaches over 91.6%. This strategy may provide an effective and versatile pathway to increase MOF loading mass on natural polysaccharide aerogel and sequentially branch out their applications in pollutant treatment fields.
