Novel hybrid coatings with excellent wettability are architecturally constructed on the surfaces of different
types of separation membranes via simultaneous polymerization of mussel-inspired dopamine and
hydrolysis of commercially available and low-cost silane through a highly efficient one-step approach.
After coating with the designed hybrid coatings, the ultrafiltration (UF) membranes possess high
hydrophilicity and excellent dry storage ability while the microfiltration (MF) membranes are endorsed
with superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity. Such unique UF and MF membranes can be
deployed for treating protein-rich water with drastically enhanced functions and separating oily water
(oil-in-water emulsion) under atmospheric conditions with ultrahigh water flux and superior antifouling
abilities. This versatile strategy to tailor membrane surface wettability paves the way for separation
membranes to be used in harsh water environmental remediation and greatly stimulates the rapid
development of mussel-inspired pDA based hybrid materials for advanced applications
