In this work, a novel and facile strategy for making a new type of polymer/silica nanocomposte particle was proposed. Colloidally stable polyvinypyrrolidone (PVP)/silica core–shell nanocomposite particles have been successfully synthesized using an azo initiator via seed polymerization
of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and VFSs (VFSs) that were derived from vinyl triethoxysilane (VTES). It was suggested from the FTIR and TGA analysis that the copolymerization reaction of NVP with VFSs has been thoroughly carried out. In addition, SEM images showed that PVP/silica nanocomposite
particles have relatively rough surface due to surface polymerization in comparison with VFSs. Furthermore, TEM results proved that the size of VFSs had considerable effects on the appearance of PVP/silica nanocomposite particles. Generally, it presented that several silica nanoparticle cores
with an average size of 78 nm mainly pack together within each nanocomposite particle after seed polymerization. Interestingly, the average shell thickness was 59 nm for most PVP/silica nanocomposite particles with cores about 242 nm. However, when the core size was large enough to about 504
nm, a series of PVP/silica nanocomposite particles with a relative thin shell were observed.

Ion exchange membranes of new chemistry based on polymer blends are proposed through a convenient solution-blending process using the hydrophobic commodity polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the hydrophilic polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which are completely miscible. The pyrrolidone groups can be protonated to form oxonium ions, functioning as transient fixed positive charges for fractioning sulfuric acid and sulfates via diffusion. The influence of PVC molecular weight and the membrane composition on the physical, chemical properties, and mass transfer performance of PVC-PVP blend membranes was systematically investigated. After equilibrium in 2.68 mol/L sulfuric acid, the sulfuric acid, and water contents in the blend membranes increase with the increase of the membrane PVP contents (20–75 wt%). The permeability coefficients of sulfuric acid and ferrous sulfate for the blend membranes also exhibit a gradual increase. Membranes of mass transfer properties comparable to commercial ones can be easily obtained by tuning the membrane PVP contents. It is proved that the larger sulfuric acid permeability over sulfates (FeSO 4 as an example) is due to both larger solubility and diffusion coefficient of sulfuric acid in the membrane phase. The optimal PVC-PVP blend membranes have shown nice performance in fractioning sulfuric acid from sulfates, when treating titania waste acid. This study provides valuable guidance for the design of high-performance yet low-cost ion exchange membranes with pyrrolidone chemistry from commodity polymers for resource recovery.

Wastewater contaminants can be effectively removed using membrane separation technology, and polyacrylonitrile, a polymer with strong thermal and chemical durability, has been employed extensively in developing water treatment membranes. Typically, bare polymer membranes face numerous challenges, including low permeate flux and poor separation capacity, so researchers have used modification maneuvers such as adding polymers and inorganic and other modified materials as additives to overcome these challenges. However, the cost issues of membrane development, reproducibility, and whether they have the potential for large-scale industrial production are often overlooked. This study uses polyacrylonitrile as the polymer matrix, polyvinylpyrrolidone as the modifier, and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone as the solvent to prepare hybrid ultrafiltration membranes utilizing the impregnation-submerged phase transition method. A polymeric membrane with high permeate flux (pure water permeate flux up to 693.7 L m −2 h −1 ) and good separation ability (BSA retention up to 89.6%) can be made by altering the casting solution's polymer matrix and modifier ratio. The membrane made by scraping and coating it with this cast membrane solution using an automatic coating machine also maintains good reproducibility (pure water permeate flux up to 683.5 L m −2 h −1 and BSA retention up to 86.6%). These results suggest that changing the blending ratio of the cast membrane solution provides a relevant idea for developing polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration membranes with industrialization prospects.

Complexation between polymers of different species in a common solvent is a fundamental process in various applications such as functional polymeric membrane and drug delivery, yet the understanding of energetics, phase behaviors, and kinetics of polymer complexation is rather challenging partially due to the multi-component nature of the system. In this work, we investigate the hydrogen-bonding complexation of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPON) in different solvents, and identify a variety of phase states, including homogenous solution, solid precipitate, liquid–liquid separation, gelation, and kinetically trapped structures. Among different solvents, N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) has a similar structure to the repeating unit of PVPON and the complexation in NMP almost has no heat, suggesting the process is driven by entropy. The PAA/PVPON-NMP system exhibits an upper critical solution temperature; specifically, as the temperature decreases, a homogeneous solution first becomes opalescent, then undergoes a liquid–liquid separation, and finally undergoes a liquid–gel separation. On the other hand, when the polymer concentration is above a threshold, a homogenous solution turns into a gel directly without involving liquid–liquid separation with decreasing temperature. Accordingly, we construct a temperature–concentration phase diagram that shows how the gelation interplays with coacervation. This work provides a broad vision on phase behaviors of polymer complexation.

LLE data of cyclooctane/3-methylpentane + benzene/toluene + N -methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at 298.15 K and 313.15 K under a pressure of 101.3 kPa were measured in this work. The Othmer-Tobias and Hand equations were adopted to validate the reliability of LLE data, where the correlation coefficients ( R 2 ) were close to unity, indicating the high reliability of the experimental data. The experimental data were analyzed using the distribution coefficient ( D ) and separation factor ( S ), and the effect of NMP extracting benzene and toluene from aromatics was explored. Meanwhile, the reason for the different extraction efficiencies of benzene and toluene using NMP was analyzed by quantum chemical calculations. The NRTL and UNIQUAC thermodynamic models were used to correlate the liquid–liquid equilibrium data, and the relevant binary interaction parameters were obtained. The calculated root mean square deviation (RMSD) were all less than 0.0063, indicating that the obtained binary interaction parameters can be used to simulate and calculate the extraction of aromatics using NMP.

Transient electronics have been widely researched to solve the electronic waste (E-waste) issue. Although various transient materials and devices have been reported, the fabrication technique for transient conductors always uses expensive sputtering or evaporation processes. In this study, a silver flake (AgF) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) composite is prepared for conductive and transient tracks. The AgF/PVP composite tracks are highly conductive with a resistivity of 8.9 mOhm cm after sintering at 80 °C for only 3 minutes. Impressively, the AgF/PVP tracks disintegrate in water in 3 minutes due to the fast dissolution of the water-soluble PVP. The transient behavior of the AgF/PVP tracks has potential in transient electronics as demonstrated in a light emitting diode (LED) circuit and antenna.

The modified polyol method for the production of high aspect ratio silver nanowires (AgNWs) has received significant attention from many researchers due to its convenience and simplicity. Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) is generally used as a template and capping agent in this method to stabilize the nanowires. However, the influence of different PVP molecules on the growth mechanism of AgNWs is not well understood. Given this, we designed a series of orthogonal experiments to obtain nanowires with an aspect ratio of 2500 and investigated the influence of PVP on the growing process leading to AgNWs. According to the results and previous studies, we proposed that relatively long PVP chains are apt to bond strongly with Ag atoms through their numerous carbonyl groups and thus promote the formation of long AgNWs. While promoting the growth in the AgNW's length, this mechanism of action restricts the growth of the diameter, thus leading to the formation of thin AgNWs with high aspect ratios as the final products.

Highly water-dispersible silver sulfadiazine (SSD) was prepared by liquid phase method with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a surface modification agent. The structure and morphology of the PVP-modified silver sulfadiazine (P-SSD) were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry. The produced particles are ginkgo leaf-like architecture with the sizes of micron-nanometer. Due to hydrophilic PVP decorated on the surface, the P-SSD has excellent dispersion in water over a period of 24 h, which is obviously stable by comparison to that of the commercial silver sulfadiazine (C-SSD). In addition, the P-SSD exhibits good antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ) and Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ).

Bi 2 WO 6 has great potential applications in the field of photocatalyst due to its excellent visible-light photocatalytic performance. This work studied the detailed morphological evolution of Bi 2 WO 6 particles synthesized in a simple hydrothermal system induced by the stabilizer poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP). The XRD and HRTEM results show PVP would not change the crystal structure of Bi 2 WO 6 , but the distribution of PVP on the initially formed Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheets will induce the crystal growth, resulting in a distinct morphology evolution of Bi 2 WO 6 with the increase of the concentration of PVP. At the same time, with the increase of the molecular weight of PVP, the morphology of Bi 2 WO 6 varied from simple sheet-like (S-BWO) to some complicated morphology, such as flower-like (F-BWO), red blood cell-like (B-BWO), and square-pillar-like (SP-BWO). The photocatalytic performances of Bi 2 WO 6 with various morphologies on the decomposition of RhB under visible light irradiation reveal that S-BWO has the best photocatalytic performance, while SP-BWO has the worst. This work not only gives the explanation of the inductive effect of PVP molecular chains on the morphological formation of Bi 2 WO 6 particles, but also provides the controllable way to the preparation of Bi 2 WO 6 with various morphologies taking advantage of the stabilizer PVP.

As a priority pollutant in the environment, hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) has received increasing attention. In this work, a safe, simple, low-cost, effective and sensitive colorimetric strategy for the determination of Cr(VI) was introduced based on polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) functionalized silver nanoparticles (PVP–AgNPs). The prepared PVP–AgNPs had good dispersibility, and exhibited a state change from dispersed to aggregated when Cr(VI) was present in pH 5.5 PBS buffer due to the special and strong coordination between PVP and Cr(VI), accompanied by a color change from bright yellow to orange. Under the optimized conditions, the concentration of Cr(VI) in the range of 1.0 × 10−7 M to 2.4 × 10−6 M showed a good linear relationship with the ratio of the absorbance at 530 nm to that at 390 nm (A530 nm/A390 nm), and the limit of detection (LOD) was 34 nM. The method also showed good precision and high repeatability in determining Cr(VI) in real water samples such as pond water, tap water and river water. The recoveries ranged from 93.5% to 104.3%, indicating the method can be used for an extensive range of practical applications.

Photocatalysts offer sustainable treatment of water pollutants using light and they can be further piezoelectrically enhanced. As a highly efficient, stable, and environmentally friendly photocatalytic material, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) exhibits significant advantages in the degradation of rhodamine B, but its morphology can be easily affected by solvothermal synthesis. In this study, the solvent effects of ethylene glycol and water were compared in the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) through solvothermal and hydrothermal reactions, respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns, Fourier-transform infrared spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectra confirmed the formation of BiOCl nanosheets with numerous oxygen-rich vacancies. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy images showed circular plate-like structures or spherical clusters with a diameter of approximately 1 μm when BiOCl was prepared using water or without the addition of PVP, respectively. The plate-like structure and the spherical clusters transformed into cotton-like spherical clusters assembled from ultra-thin nanosheets with diameters ranging from 20 to 50 nm after using ethylene glycol and PVP. UV–vis absorption spectra showed that BiOCl with a cotton-like spherical structure could achieve higher dye degradation efficiency than BiOCl with a plate-like or spherical structure. The piezoelectric-enhanced photodegradation rates of rhodamine B were significantly increased by about 22 times since the piezoelectric photocurrent intensities rose nearly three times and the generation of •O 2 − and •OH increased. The photocatalytic hydrogen production was improved by 55.3 % and sustained up to 4 cycles due to the conduction band reduction, as proven by the Mott-Schottky plot.

Reversible adhesion is highly desired for intelligent engineering, reassembling devices, and recycling resources. However, many reported reversible adhesives require solvent or pH stimuli to achieve adversity switches, which are very inconvenient for practical applications. So far, thermally responsive adhesives are reported to be very appealing in achieving facile reversible adhesion. However, the fixed on–off switching temperature limits their application in different scenarios. Herein, we report employing fatty acids and polyvinylpyrrolidone to construct supramolecular thermosetting adhesives. The adhesives can switch between solid and liquid states owing to phase transition, resulting in reversible adhesion with a robust strength of ∼4 MPa and a large on–off ratio of ∼40. Upon variation of the chain length of fatty acids, the super fatty acid adhesives can be designed to display reversible adhesion at the desired temperature. This study will open up new inspiration for developing high-performance reversible adhesives for sustainable development.
