This invention discloses a layer-by-layer deposition
modified ultrafiltration membrane with both antifouling and antibacterial properties, its preparation method, and its applications. Through layer-by-layer
assembly technology, a
tannic acid (TA) anion layer and a polyhexamethylene
biguanide (PHMB) cation layer are alternately deposited on the surface of an
ultrafiltration membrane. Under weakly alkaline conditions, electrostatic interactions,
hydrogen bonding,
Schiff base reactions, and Michael addition reactions are simultaneously utilized to achieve both non-covalent and covalent bonding, constructing a stable and dense integrated antibacterial-antifouling
composite coating. This
coating has a contact-type antibacterial structure, which can effectively kill
bacteria in water and inhibit
biofilm formation at the source. Simultaneously, it significantly improves the hydrophilicity of the
membrane surface, reduces
pollutant adsorption and deposition, and achieves synergistic enhancement of antibacterial and antifouling properties. The preparation process of this invention is mild, simple, low-cost, and
environmentally friendly. The modified membrane exhibits
high flux retention, excellent separation performance, and excellent
operational stability, and can be widely applied in
water treatment scenarios such as municipal
wastewater treatment.
