Abstract

A facile route to biofouling-resistant porous thin-film membranes that can be fine-tuned for specific needs in diverse bioseparation, mass flow control, sensors, and drug delivery applications is reported. The proposed approach is based on combining two distinct macromolecular systems-a cross-linked poly(2-vinyl pyridine) network and a 3D-grafted polyethylene oxide (PEO) layer-in one robust porous material whose porosity can be adjusted within a wide range, covering the macroporous and mesoporous size regimes. Notably, this reconfigurable material maintains its antifouling properties throughout the entire range of pore size configurations because of a dense surface carpet of PEO chains with self-healing properties that are immobilized both onto the surface and inside the polymer network through what was termed 3D grafting. Experimental results are supplemented by computer simulations of a coarse-grained model of a porous membrane that shows qualitatively similar pore swelling behavior.
