Organic phase change materials (PCMs) have been widely used in the thermal energy storage field, but melt leakage above the phase change temperature has greatly hindered their practical applications. Herein, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aerogels with hierarchically porous structure are fabricated and introduced into phase change matrices to obtain novel leakage-proof composite PCMs (CPCMs). The thermal storage efficiency of the working substance in the CPCMs reaches as high as 95.6%, maintaining a tremendously high energy storage density. More importantly, the CPCMs exhibit prominent shape stability when heated at 80 °C, higher than the phase change temperature, for 60 h. Finally, the leakage-proof CPCMs exhibit great application potential in the thermal management of electronic devices.

Fluorescence imaging in vivo can non-invasively monitor and reveal the process of the implants. In this work, it has developed a novel Carbon dots/Hydroxyapatite/PVA (CDs/HA/PVA) dual-network (DN) hydrogel scaffold with excellent fluorescence and biocompatible properties, which have significant importance as implant biomaterials with the demands for less invasive procedures. The composite hydrogel was fabricated by two combined procedures, including firstly chemical crosslinking then physical crosslinking techniques. The composite hydrogel was further characterized by HRSEM, TGA and fluorescence spectrum et al. The results showed that the polymer networks of the CDs/HA/PVA DN hydrogel became more compact and their pore sizes decreased to about 1~3 μm after suffered the freezing/thawing cyclic process. When the mass ratios of CDs to PVA increased from 0.0% to 6.0%, they also exhibited a prominent enhancement of the maximum fluorescence emission intensities. What’s more, the CDs/HA/PVA DN hydrogels had excellent biocompatibility as MC3T3-E1 cells exhibited highly cell viabilities on their surfaces, the relative cell viability was about 91.24% after the MC3T3-E1 cells were incubated with the hydrogels for 5 days. This fluorescence-related hydrogel has potential to be applied in non-invasive monitoring field for the in vivo evaluation of implant biomaterials.

Composite anion exchanges membranes are prepared by incorporating quaternized graphene oxide (QGO) within poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) or the mixture of PVA and quaternized polyethyleneimine (QPEI), followed by cross-linking with formaldehyde. The PVA-QGO series of membranes have low ion exchange capacities (IECs) of 0.10–0.37 mmol/g and low water uptakes ( W R ) of 16.1%–22.0%, leading to high area resistances (>60 Ω cm 2 ). The PVA-QPEI-QGO series of membranes show much lower area resistances of 2.47–6.04 Ω cm 2 , which is ascribed to the improved IECs (0.86–1.37 mmol/g) and W R (46.8%–71.4%). Both series of membranes show higher alkali resistance than commercial membrane AMV. Their weight losses are in the range of 0.5%–8.9% after immersion in 60 °C 2 mol/L NaOH alkaline solution for 32 days, while the value of AMV membrane is 19.2%. When utilized for electrodialysis (ED) application to recover NaOH from NaOH/Na 2 WO 4 mixture, the prepared membranes exhibit high selectivity, as evidenced by the low leakage ratio of Na 2 WO 4 . The leakage ratio of the optimized composite membrane to WO 4 2− is only 5.1%, while the leakage ratio of AMV membrane is up to 61.4%. To explore this reason, the composite membranes are selected for the ED separation of monovalent ions. The separation efficiency ( S ) of the optimized membrane is 83.9%, which is similar to the value of commercial anion selective membrane NEOSEPTA® ACS (88.7%), confirming further the selectivity of the composite membranes.

The excellent conductivity of flexible hydrogel sensors endows them with a wide application range. However, traditional flexible hydrogel sensors lack mechanical strength, which greatly limits their usage. In this study, fabrics were used to improve mechanical properties. Particularly knitted ones, characterized by good mechanical stability, breathability and a soft texture. This combination can fit well on the skin and provide an ideal platform for flexible sensing. We utilize brocade nylon-spandex knitted fabrics to reinforce poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels. The results show that the elongation at break of the conductive hydrogels increases by 1.57 times compared to the original, while their tensile stress is enhanced 7.2-fold. The hydrogels can lift a bucket with 19 L of water with no obvious damage. We employ polyaniline (PANI) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as conductive materials, which give the hydrogels high conductivity. Ethylene glycol and water serve as solvents for preparing the PVA/PANI conductive hydrogels. Due to the presence of ethylene glycol, the hydrogels are resistant to frost and can maintain their conductivity even at −18 °C. These are subsequently coated on nylon-spandex fabrics. The direct coating can be mass produced using a simple and cost-effective method. The PVA/PANI hydrogel fabric sensor demonstrates high sensitivity, excellent linearity, fast response and recovery times, remarkable durability and the ability to detect various levels of human motion. These findings indicate significant potential for flexible sensor applications.

Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), as an excellent degradable plastic feedstock , is limited by its diminishing stability in wet environment, low strength , thermal instability and nonopaque properties. In response to these concerns, a PVA/demethylated lignin-based supramolecular plastic (DPVA-HA-Fe-5) was designed and produced from PVA, demethylated lignin (DL), humic acid (HA) and Fe 3+ ions via a simple casting method. As compared with pure PVA plastic, the tensile strength of DPVA-HA-Fe-5 were increased by 411 % to 410.61 MPa, and the breaking strain was increased by 149 % to 239.47 %. Notably, the hydrophobicity of DPVA-HA-Fe-5 was also significantly improved. Although in highly humid environment (stored in RH = 100 % for 10 days) or in alkaline organic solvent (stored in pyridine for 3 h), DPVA-HA-Fe-5 also showed excellent mechanical strengths of 302.9 and 222.99 MPa, respectively, which are equivalent or even superior to the most of commercial petroleum-based plastics. Moreover, the prepared plastics showed an outstanding UV resistance and shading performance, and about 98.3 % protection against ultraviolet radiation B rays and 90.7 % protection against visible light were obtained. In short, the introduction of lignin to improve the performance of PVA-based plastic is a feasible method, and it could facilitate the development of high-value utilization of lignin.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are highly promising as implantable, degradable energy sources and self-powered sensors. However, the degradable triboelectric materials are often limited in terms of contact electrification and mechanical properties. Here, a bio-macromolecule-assisted toughening strategy for PVA aerogel-based triboelectric materials is proposed. By introducing β-lactoglobulin fibrils (BF) into the PVA aerogel network, the material's mechanical properties while preserving its swelling resistance is significantly enhanced. Compared to pure PVA porous film, the BF-PVA porous film exhibits an eightfold increase in fracture strength (from 1.92 to 15.48 J) and a fourfold increase in flexibility (from 10.956 to 39.36 MPa). Additionally, the electrical output of BF-PVA in triboelectric performance tests increased nearly fivefold (from 45 to 203 V). Leveraging these enhanced properties, a biodegradable TENG (bi-TENG) for implantable muscle activity sensing is developed, achieving real-time monitoring of neuromuscular processes. This innovation holds significant potential for advancing implantable medical devices and promoting new applications in bio-integrated electronics.

A novel approach, continuous needleless electrospinning from the tips of magnetization-induced self-assembling PVA/ferrofluid cone array, was proposed to prepare magnetic nanofibers. A PVA/ferrofluid was synthesized, the needleless electrospinning process was observed, and the morphology and magnetic properties of magnetic nanofibers were investigated. The results showed that the PVA/ferrofluid could remain stable and homogeneous for 21 days under the magnetic field gradient (2.2 mT/mm). “Taylor cone” array of PVA/ferrofluid was self-assembled under both the magnetic and electric fields. As the electric voltage reached 25 kV, the jets were emitted from the “Taylor cone” array, resulting in needleless electrospinning of magnetic nanofibers. Magnetic nanofibers were homogeneous and continuous with an average diameter of 73.6 nm. Magnetic nanofibers showed a good magnetic response property and relatively high saturated magnetization (1.71 emu/g), which is expected to be applied in the biomedical field.

Novel poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber composite membranes modified with nano-TiO 2 were prepared by a dip-coating method and they are suitable to be utilized in dye desalination and wastewater treatment . Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used as a cross-linker for the composite polymer membrane in order to enhance the chemical, thermal as well as mechanical stabilities. The surface morphologies and chemical structures of modified membranes were observed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and FTIR spectroscopy . Zeta potential of the membrane surface was used to analyze the membrane separation performance. Separation efficiency of dye and salts through novel PVA/PVDF composite membrane was dramatically influenced by dye concentration, salts concentration, pH and temperature of feed solution. Fouling and thermal stability of the membrane were also evaluated with CR, NaCl, and Na 2 SO 4 as model compounds. The separation datas showed that the 1 g/L nano-TiO 2 modified membrane presented highest performance in terms of the rejections to CR, MO, and MB being 94±2.57%, 52.1±2.45%, and 92±2.20%, respectively. And all the PVA composite membranes had no rejection to salts (NaCl, Na 2 SO 4 ). Compared with PVA composite membrane, the PVA composite membrane modified with nano-TiO 2 has higher separation efficiency, antifouling and thermal stability.

Polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) bead crosslinked with boric acid has been widely utilized as a microorganism immobilization carrier. However, it has some disadvantages such as drastic cell viability loss, small adsorption capacity and mass transfer limitation. To improve upon these drawbacks, a new method to prepare PVA composite pieces with the addition of activated carbon (AC) and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) was explored through a combination of freezing/thawing and the boric acid method and by using Tween-80 to improve the mass transfer performance of hydrophobic organics. m -Cresol and pyrene were used as representative compounds with benzene ring structures to model hydrophilic and hydrophobic organics in order to test the performance of PVA pieces. The results showed that, compared with the boric acid method alone, a combination of freezing/thawing and the boric acid method led to a decrease in total organic carbon(TOC) loss from 0.315 g g −1 to 0.033 g g −1 and increased the oxygen uptake rate(OUR) of microorganisms from 0.03 mg L −1 ·min −1 to 0.22 mg L −1 min −1 . The m -cresol equilibrium adsorption amount of the PVA-SA(sodium alginate)-PHB-AC piece was 2.80 times that of the PVA-SA piece. The diffusion coefficient of pyrene in the PVA-SA-PHB-AC piece increased from 0.53×10 −9 m 2 min −1 to 2.30×10 −9 m 2 min −1 with increasing concentrations of Tween-80 from 1000 mg L −1 to 5000 mg L −1 . The PVA-SA-PHB-AC composite carrier demonstrated great scope for immobilizing microorganisms for practical wastewater bio-treatment. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Translucent materials are widely used in indoor lighting, electronic display devices, photovoltaic devices, and other aspects of daily life. Developing materials with high transparency that can effectively manage the transmitted light spectrum is of significant practical importance. This study focuses on constructing a flexible composite film matrix using biomass nanocellulose fibrils (CNF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as raw materials. Based on the down-conversion luminescence principle, we use carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNs) as the core for light management, filtering UV rays from sunlight while converting them into visible light for light compensation. The transparency test results show that the prepared CNNs@CNF/PVA flexible composite film has a total transmittance of about 90% in the visible light range, with a haze greater than 60%. Three-dimensional fluorescence test results indicate that CNNs@CNF/PVA can convert UV light in the range of 250–375 nm into visible light in the range of 420–550 nm. Simulated outdoor lighting results show that the composite film material performs better than ordinary glass and PMMA in light transmission. This biomass-based flexible film material is expected to have broad applications in indoor lighting, flexible photovoltaic devices, and high-quality fruit and vegetable cultivation.

Traditional hydrogel-based wearable sensors with flexibility, biocompatibility, and mechanical compliance exhibit potential applications in flexible wearable electronics. However, the low sensitivity and poor environmental resistance of traditional hydrogels severely limit their practical application. Herein, high-ion-conducting poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanocomposite hydrogels were fabricated and applied for harsh environments. MXene ion-conducting microchannels and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) ion sources contributed to the directional transport of abundant free ions in the hydrogel, which significantly improved the sensitivity and mechanical–electric conversion of the nanocomposite hydrogel-based piezoelectric and triboelectric sensors. More importantly, the glycerol as an antifreezing agent enabled the hydrogel-based sensors to function in harsh environments. Therefore, the nanocomposite hydrogel exhibited high gauge factor (GF) at −20 °C (GF = 3.37) and 60 °C (GF = 3.62), enabling the hydrogel-based sensor to distinguish different writing letters and sounding words. Meanwhile, the hydrogel-based piezoelectric and triboelectric generators showed excellent mechanical–electric conversion performance regardless of low- (−20 °C) or high- (60 °C) temperature environments, which can be applied as a visual feedback system for information transmission without external power sources. This work provides self-powered nanocomposite hydrogel-based sensors that exhibit potential applications in flexible wearable electronics under harsh environmental conditions.

Humidity measurement plays an essential role in industrial and agricultural production, meteorological monitoring, medical services, and people’s comfortable life. Polymer materials-based humidity sensors have gained much research focus due to the good dielectric properties and the compatibility with a variety of coating and pattern processes of polymer materials. In this paper, for the first time, a flexible capacitive humidity sensor is presented based on doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/ cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) double-layer sensing film and polyimide (PI) substrate. Potassium ions (K + ) are introduced into PVA for high effective capacitance, and CAB is used as protective film for preventing the hydrolysis of the doped PVA layer in high humidity environment. The fabricated novel sensor with a size of 20 × 20mm 2 has a capacitance of 61.84pF at 10% relative humidity (% RH) and 188.42pF at 90% RH. The average sensitivity is 1.414 pF/% RH. The maximum humidity hysteresis is about 5.83% RH at 50% RH. The response and recovery times from room humidity to 75% RH were likewise measured to be 78.71s and 6.19s, respectively. In addition, the long-time measurements for 7 days and bending tests for 5000 cycles demonstrated a good long-time humidity detecting stability and high mechanical flexibility for the capacitive humidity sensor based on potassium ion-doped PVA/CAB double-layer sensing film.
