Amphiphilic copolymer Pluronic F127 was used as macromolecular additive to investigate the polymorphism and thermoresponsive properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes. Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to characterize the polymorphism and morphology of PVDF/F127 blend membranes. FTIR results indicated that F127 existed stably in the blend membranes, and lower F127 concentration in the cast solution was in favor of the formation of α-crystal phase, but higher F127 concentration could promote the formation of β- and γ-crystal phase in PVDF membranes. The results of XRD also confirmed these phenomena. With the increase of F127 in the cast solutions, a more sponge-like structure appeared at the bottom surface of the membranes as investigated by SEM. PVDF/F127 blend membranes also exhibited good thermoresponsive properties. The water flux of the membranes increased distinctly with the increase of the experimental temperature, decreased with the decrease of the temperature, and the increasing and decreasing curves were almost overlapped. Contact angle measurement and permeation experiment indicated that the blend membranes had good hydrophilicity and fouling resistance. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012

This paper describes a facile and novel approach for the surface glycosylation of poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) microporous membrane. A glycopolymer poly( d -gluconamidoethyl methacrylate) (PGAMA) was tethered onto the membrane surface via activators generated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (AGET ATRP) directly initiated from the PVDF surface. Chemical changes of membrane surface were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was revealed that PGAMA was successfully grafted onto the membrane surface and its grafting density can be modulated in a wide range up to 2.4 μmol/cm 2 . The effects of glycosylation on membrane morphology, flux and surface hydrophilicity were investigated. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) results indicated shrinkage of the surface pore diameters and the growth of the glycopolymer layer on the membrane surface. The static water contact angle (WCA) of the membrane surface decreased from 110° to 30.4° with the increase of grafting density, indicating that the PGAMA grafts dramatically improved the surface hydrophilicity. The protein adsorption and platelets adhesion experiments indicated that the grafted PGAMA could effectively improve the membrane antifouling property and biocompatibility.

Improved ammonia (NH 3 ) sensor is proposed based on polyaniline (PANI) with poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PSS) as an additive, which was produced by in-suit polymerization of aniline on flexible porous polyvinylidene-fluoride (PVDF) membranes and then treated with PSS aqueous solution. The whole film sensor fabrication process was low-cost and convenient in operation, suitable for large-scale commercial production. The results demonstrated that the appropriate addition of PSS could significantly improve the sensor response to NH 3 . The PSS-PANI/PVDF film sensor response was improved to approximately 70%, which was 2.8 times higher than that of the pure PANI/PVDF film with 25% response towards 1 ppm NH 3 at room temperature. Furthermore, it still showed an excellent response of 9.4% for 0.1 ppm NH 3 . The fabricated film sensor showed remarkable long-term stability with response decreases less than 5% after 30 days, and excellent flexibility under 10,000 repeated bending times with a response value degradation of only 15.1% towards 1 ppm NH 3 . The flexible PSS-PANI/PVDF film offers potential applications in smart wearable devices for detecting sub-ppm NH 3 under ambient conditions.

Octa vinyl silsesquioxane (OvPOSS) was used to synthesis POSS grafted ethylene glycol (EG) (EG-POSS). EG-POSS was synthesized by a two-step route. OvPOSS was first oxidized to prepare Epoxy-POSS. EG was used to graft Epoxy-POSS to obtain EG-POSS by ring opening reaction of epoxy groups. A polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/EG-POSS hybrid membrane was prepared by a phase separation process. POSS was characterized by FTIR, NMR and TEM. The hybrid membranes were characterized by pure water flux, retention ratio to BSA, contact angle, BSA adsorption capacity, mechanical properties, XRD, SEM and AFM. The hydrophilicity and anitifouling properties of the pure PVDF membrane were improved by incorporating EG-POSS. The pure water flux of the hybrid membrane reached a maximum when 0.5% EG-POSS was added in the casting solution. The addition of EG-POSS had a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the PVDF membrane.

A novel strategy was proposed to fabricate alkali-resistant PVDF membrane via sodium lauryl sulfate (SDS) attached to the surface of membrane and immobilized by UV-curable polyester acrylate and tri(propylene glycol) diacrylate (TPGDA). The attached anionic surfactant, SDS, on the membrane surface can resist the alkali corrosion by NaOH, and the curing of the resin can immobilize the SDS on the membrane firmly. Due to the unique alkali resistance of SDS and resin formed, the UV-curable resin-modified PVDF membrane showed greatly enhanced alkali-resistant ability. Characterization of SEM and FTIR showed that polyester acrylate and TPGDA were cured successfully under the action of 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone (184) and ultraviolet light. Whiteness, differential scanning calorimeter and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer characterization showed that the modified PVDF membrane had a lower degree of dehydrofluorination than the pristine PVDF membrane after alkali treatment. Results of the detailed alkali-resistant analysis indicated that the F/C ratio of the UV-curable resin-modified PVDF membrane decreased by 2.6% after alkali treatment compared to pristine PVDF membrane decreased by 19.28%. The alkali-resistant performance was mainly attributed to the immobilized SDS. This study provided a facile and scalable method for designing alkali-resistant PVDF membrane, which shows a promising potential in the treatment of alkaline wastewater and alkaline-cleaning PVDF membrane.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies have unparalleled advantages in constructing piezoelectric devices with three-dimensional structures, which are conducive to improving the efficiency of energy harvesting. Among them, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is the most widely used thanks to its low cost and wide range of molding materials. However, as the best piezoelectric polymer, a high electroactive β-phase poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) piezoelectric device cannot be directly obtained by FDM printing because the β-crystal is unstable at the molten state. Herein, we develop for the first time ionic liquid (IL)-assisted FDM for direct printing of β-PVDF piezoelectric devices. An IL can induce and maintain β crystals during melt extrusion and FDM printing, ensuring that the β-crystal in the printed PVDF device is as high as 98.3%, which is the highest in 3D-printed PVDF as far as we know. Furthermore, the shearing force provided by the FDM facilitates the directional arrangement of the dipoles, resulting in the printed PVDF device having self-polarization characteristics without poling. Finally, the piezoelectric output voltage of the 3D-printed PVDF device is 4.7 times that of the flat PVDF device, and its area current density (17.5 nA cm–2) is more than that of the reported 3D-printed PVDF piezoelectric device in the literature by two orders of magnitude. The one-step 3D printing strategy proposed in this paper can realize the rapid preparation of complex-shaped and lightweight self-polarized β-PVDF-based piezoelectric devices for energy harvesting.

Polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (PVDFMs) are frequently used in oil-water separation due to their stable properties, high porosity, and modification easily. However, the pollution, low separation efficiency, and low recovery rate of PVDFMs have limited the oil sewage treatment. This work is based on dopamine-modified PVDFMs, which prepared hydrophilic separation membranes by attaching hydroxymethylated lignin (HAL) to PVDFMs. Lignin was hydroxymethylated to improve its hydrophilicity. Additionally, HAL was assembled on the surface of PVDFMs with the effect of dopamine (DA) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550). The effect of the ratio of DA and KH550 (D: K) and HAL concentration on the hydrophilic effect was explored. The modified membranes exhibited considerable separation efficiency (>99 %) for several kinds of oil-water emulsions and could be recycled multiple times. This green modification method using lignin provides an environmentally friendly solution for modifying PVDFMs.

Dip coating technology is often used for hydrophilic modification of PVDF membrane surfaces due to its significant modification effect, simple process and low cost. Nevertheless, the relatively feeble binding forces between coating molecules and between the coating and the substrate membrane often raise concerns about the stability of modified membranes. This study utilized PAA and Sac-100 to develop a hydrophilic and negatively charged coating to improve the anti-fouling characteristics of PVDF membranes in the process of oil/water separation. Two modification reagents underwent ring opening crosslinking reaction and ultimately deposited on the surface of PVDF membranes in the form of a network polymer, thereby solving the stability problem of the modification coating. After the modification, the surface microstructure of the membranes remained unchanged, while the average pore size fell from 0.37 μm to 0.32 μm. The water contact angle of the modified membrane decreased to 39° suggesting an excellent hydrophilic property. The modified PVDF membrane exhibited exceptional resistance to fouling in the oil/water separation experiment, demonstrating a consistent permeance value of 212 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 that was four times higher than that of the original membrane. Following the cleaning process, the permeance of the modified membrane could be restored to a level of 74.5 %.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane in-situ coupling catalytic oxidation technology holds great promise as a means to mitigate membrane fouling. However, its application is constrained by several factors, including the inherent incompatibility with inorganic nanoparticles, unsatisfactory hydrophily, and limited catalytic capacity. In this study, a novel in-situ coupling Fenton membrane catalyst with high permeability and anti-fouling capacity was processed based on highly efficient FeNi-LDHs@Cellulose. The performance evaluation exhibit that pure water flux and TOC removal efficiency increased from 556.81 L·m −2 ·h −1 , 65.42% to 665.24 L·m −2 ·h −1 , 99.03 % while rate of Irreversible contamination (Rir) decreased from 42 % to 11.7 %, respectively. After 5 cycles, the pure water flux decreased from 665.24 L·m −2 ·h −1 to 471.13 L·m −2 ·h −1 , and the TOC removal efficiency and flux recovery rate (FRR) still remained above 90%. In addition, further mechanistic insights by pollution model, extended Derjaguin-Landau-VerweyOverbeek (XDLVO), Three-dimensional fluorescence (3D-EEM) and EPR verified that anti-fouling mainly attribute to high hydrophilicity and in-situ decomposition pollutants. Meanwhile, the decomposition mechanism of pollutants and generation path of OH and 1 O 2 were proposed. This research provides insights for further improving the permeability and anti-fouling performance of PVDF membrane in the field of treatment organic wastewater by combining organic with inorganic nanoparticles.

Flexible piezoelectrics are pivotal for self-powered wearable systems, yet low-dimensional materials like PVDF fibers suffer from inefficient β-phase crystallization and limited charge transport. Here, coaxial wet-spun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers integrated with carbon quantum dots (CDs) overcome these limitations via solvent-nonsolvent phase separation and mechanical stretching. A 3 wt% CDs doping induces 75.96 % β-phase content through interfacial hydrogen bonding, achieving a high piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 of 28 pC/N) and output performance of 19.4 V and 0.2 μA, which is 86.7 % surpassing pristine PVDF(15 pC/N), and Under optimal experimental conditions, the peak voltage and current can reach up to 31 V and 0.2 μA. Cyclic durability tests (3 Hz, 20 N, 1000 cycles) confirm excellent stability with > 90 % performance retention. Practical applications highlight rapid capacitor charging (5 V in 30 s) and the ability to power nine LEDs. Additionally, bending sensitivity (3.6 V at 60°) and motion sensing (9 V for arm bending) validate its adaptability for wearable electronics and IoT applications, offering a scalable strategy for high-performance flexible energy harvesters.

Oil–water separation is a worldwide challenge because of increasingly oily wastewater, as well as frequent oil spill accidents. We report in this work the fabrication of a zwitterionic polyelectrolyte brush (poly(3-(N-2-methacryloxyethyl-N,N-dimethyl) ammonatopropanesultone), abbreviated as PMAPS)-grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PMAPS-g-PVDF) membrane via a surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) technique for separating oil from water. By tuning polymerization time, a superhydrophilic and underwater superoleophobic PMAPS-g-PVDF membrane was successfully prepared. The membrane can be applied for thoroughly separating dispersed oil from water with ultrahigh separation efficiency >99.999% in terms of rejection coefficient. The oil contents after one-time separation of a selection of oil–water mixtures are all less than 10 ppm and some of them are even lower than 2 ppm. These values are much lower than the standard minimum requirements of the international regulations for wastewater discharging. The oil-adhesion force between an oil droplet and the membrane surface was measured to be less than 1 μN. Due to the ultralow oil adhesion, the membrane exhibits an excellent antifouling property to oil and is easily recyclable.

The membrane filtration technology is considered as one of the most important approach for removal of hazardous substances from wastewater. Herein, we report a facile surface modification method for preparing a novel membrane via the codepositing tannic acid (TA), polyetheylenimine (PEI), and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) on the surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The morphologies and chemical compositions of membrane were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), indicating that the membrane was successfully modified by TA/PEI/HNTs. Compared with pristine membrane, the coated membrane shows the improved hydrophilicity and pure water flux (PWF). The membrane modified by TA/PEI/HNTs achieves higher dyes rejection with 90.7%, 92.8% and 96.0% for direct yellow, direct red and direct blue, respectively. Moreover, the treated membrane exhibits excellent anti-fouling performance after several cycles. In addition, removal capacity for heavy metal ion can be enhanced by the as-prepared membrane with introducing the TA/PEI/HNTs coating. This work provides a facile strategy to carry out the hydrophilic modification of membranes. We hope the as-prepared membrane would have some practical applications for wastewater treatment.
