Abstract

Self-healing, antibacterial and metal-ion sensing coatings with nanoparticles were developed using layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique via host-guest interaction. The coatings consist of MoS2 nanosheets, beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD)-modified poly (ethylenimine) (PEI) and adamantane (AD)-modified poly (acrylic acid) (PAA). Damages to conventional coatings results in cracking and affects the coatings’ ability to maintain antibacterial and sensing qualities. The prepared MoS2/β-CD-PEI/AD-PAA self-healing coatings are not only able to greatly suppress bacterial adhesion and have excellent antibacterial property, particularly under UV light irradiation, but also have a longtime service time. Moreover, the self-healing coatings first applied the fluorescence quenching for detecting heavy metals (Co2+). Fluorescence spectra demonstrated that a linear relationship existed between the fluorescence intensity and the Co2+ concentration with 0∼0.1 ug/mL and the detection limit of Co2+ is 0.018mg/mL. Therefore, the nanoparticle multilayer polyelectrolyte hybrid coatings have a potential application in food industries.
