Abstract

Intrinsic self-healing of C3N4 coatings based on host–guest interaction was achieved on fruit substrates via layer-by-layer assembly technique. The coatings were made of alternating layers of poly(ethylenimine)-β-cyclodextrin (PEI-βCD), poly(acrylic acid)-adamantanamine (PAA-AD), and carbon nitride (C3N4). The ultrasonic treatment was used to inhibit C3N4 agglomeration and to form a homogeneous suspension of PEI-βCD-C3N4. Then, PAA-AD and PEI-βCD-C3N4 were self-assembled to obtain the (PAA-AD/PEI-βCD-C3N4)*15 coatings. The photoactivity of the coatings was monitored using photodegradation of methylene blue dye under visible light. We hypothesized that the coatings could be applied to banana fresh-keeping packaging materials by inhibiting or degrading ethylene. The results verified that the coatings possessed excellent degradablility and fresh-keeping performances. Moreover, cell viability tests showed that the coatings exhibited good biocompatibility. In particular, the coatings exhibited excellent self-healing property due to the reversible nature of the host–guest interaction. The coatings show great potential for applications in multifunctional commercial supplies, such as packaging materials.
