Recently,research on hydrogel materials with a porous structure and superior water absorption capabilities significantly grown.However,the hydrogel under gravity-driven separation conditions often exhibit an unstable pore structure,poor mechanical properties,and limited functionality.To this end,this work presents a novel approach that combines a macro-micro double bionic strategy with a triple crosslinking method to develop a multifunctional alginate composite hydrogel filter(2%-SA-k-CG-PVA-Ca2+,2%SKP-Ca2+for short)with a stable pore structure and superior mechanical properties,which possessed an umbrella-shaped structure resembling that of jellyfish.The 2%-SKP-Ca2+filter was synthesized using polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)as a stable structure-directing agent,and sodium alginate(SA)and x-carrageenan(k-CG)as polymer hydrogels.The distinctive umbrella-shaped hydrogel of 2%-SKP-Ca2+filter,formed through the triple crosslinking method,overcomes the limitations of unstable pore structure and poor durability seen in hydrogels prepared by traditional crosslinking methods.Furthermore,the utilization of the 2%-SKP-Ca2+filter in water treatment demonstrates its good selective permeability,excellent resistance to fouling,and extended longevity,which enables it to simultaneously achieve the multifunctional water purification and the coating of multi-substrate anti-fouling coatings.Therefore,not only does this research provide an efficient,multi-functional,highly pollution-resistant preparation method for designing a new filter,but it also confirms the application prospect of the macro-micro dual bionic strategy developed in this study in complex water treatment.
