Although the slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) exhibit highly antifouling performance against various working liquids, the loss of lubricant always deteriorates their long-term durability. Herein, a spongy composite of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and hydrangea-type perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane (POTS)-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) has been successfully prepared via the spraying method and used as the substrate for SLIPSs, which exhibits satisfactory storage and lock capacities for lubricant to enhance its durable antifouling performances. After infusing perfluoropolyether (PFPE) into the spongy substrate, a stable POTS-MSNs@PVDF@PFPE is prepared, which exhibits high amphiphobic performances (WSA of 1.68 ± 1.13° and OSA of 5.99 ± 1.34°) and high repellence to various working liquids, indicating its high antifouling performance. The long freezing time of 121.50 s and the low ice-adhesion strength of 25.67 kPa also indicate its high anti-icing performances. Furthermore, the high stability of POTS-MSNs@PVDF@PFPE after various thermal, chemical, and mechanical testing indicates its satisfactory durability. Actually, the abundant micropores of POTS-MSNs@PVDF provide adequate space for locking PFPE, thus prolonging its antifouling performances. This study provides an insight into the development of SLIPSs capable of maintaining long-term antifouling performance in harsh environments.

A polyphosphoric acid functionalized proton exchange membrane (PEM) was prepared by a ring opening reaction using the epoxycyclohexylethyltrimethoxysilane (EHTMS) and amino trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP) as raw materials and was modified by poly(vinylidene fluoride)–hexafluoro propylene (PVDF-HFP). The structure of the membranes was characterized by Fourier transform infrared and scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy explores the content of the elements in the membrane related to the ion exchange capacity value. The membranes’ properties including water uptake, swelling ratio, proton conductivity, and hydrolysis stability were studied. Performance tests show that when ATMP/EHTMS = 1/5, conductivity of the PVDF-HFP modified PEMs increased from 0.83 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 20 °C to 9.53 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 160 °C, the swelling ratio of membranes decreased from 2.71% to 2.13%. The results indicate that the introduction of F atoms is beneficial to increase the proton conductivity and the dimensional stability. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Optimizing the ignition and combustion characteristics of Al by fluorine-containing oxidizers have attracted significant interest. However, few of them dedicated to alleviate the incomplete combustion of Al in propellant. Herein, we demonstrated that the combustion of micron-Al in AP free nitramine-based propellants can be greatly enhanced by thin coating layer of PVDF, resulting decreased volume fraction of agglomerates exceeding the initial particle size and active Al content in condensed combustion products (CCPs). After extensive analysis from thermal reactivity, single particle ignition and observation of particles evolution from burning surface to flame zone, we propose that the combustion efficiency is promoted by the fragmentation of chain structured aluminum skeleton by gas recoil near burning surface, oxidation acceleration by diffusion of Al and oxidative gas through the cracks among the particle shell in the dark zone and the subsequent ejection of molten Al triggered by gasification of low boiling point AlF 3 in the flame zone. The findings in this work suggest that core–shell Al@PVDF has a great potential to be further used in the development of future highly energetic solid propellants.

The existence of an oxide (B 2 O 3 ) film covering the boron (B) surface affects its energy release during combustion. Fluoropolymer modification can help to solve the problem. The electrospinning and solvent anti-solvent methods were utilized to modify boron nanoparticles (n-B) using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a modified material, which can effectively coat B particles. The thermal behavior, combustion characteristics, and condensed combustion products of the B/PVDF composites were investigated and evaluated. The agglomeration size of B particles can be decreased while its reaction heat and combustion intensity are increased. Significantly, the combustion performance of the B/PVDF composites prepared by the electrospinning method is better than that of the B/PVDF composite prepared by the solvent anti-solvent method. These results can be helpful in promoting the practical application of B.

Polydimethylsiloxane-graft-polyethylene glycol (PDMS-graft-PEG), an amphiphilic polymer with four hydrophilic arms, was prepared and used to improve the antifouling property of PVDF membranes by a dip-coating method. The interface properties of the modified PVDF membranes were investigated and it was found that the increased molecular weight of the PEG segment exhibited a negative effect on the anchoring ability of the PDMS-graft-PEG on the membrane surface. However, the antifouling properties of the modified membranes were significantly improved due to the dual-mode antifouling ability of fouling repulsion (PEG) and fouling release (PDMS). The adsorption mass of BSA on the modified membrane surface decreased to a low level, and an enhanced water flux recovery ratio after washing (FRR-W) of the modified membranes was obtained for two typical pollutants of bovine serum albumin and sodium alginate. It was demonstrated that surface anchoring is an effective way to improve the interface characteristics of membrane materials with functional polymers.

Flexible wearable electronic devices have found widespread applications in health monitoring and human–machine interaction. Piezoelectric sensors, capable of converting mechanical stress into electrical signals, serve as critical components in these systems. In this study, we enhanced the piezoelectric performance of PVDF-based composite materials through MoS2incorporation. Experimental results demonstrated that MoS2addition effectively increased the β-phase content in PVDF, achieving a maximum value of 70.0% at an optimal MoS2concentration of 0.75 wt%. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that while β-phase PVDF possesses slightly higher energy than other phases, it exhibits stronger adsorption interactions and enhanced charge transfer with MoS2, thereby promoting β-phase formation. The fabricated MoS2/PVDF composite nanofiber film maintained stable voltage output under repeated mechanical stress through 2000 operational cycles. When implemented as a body-mounted sensor, the composite material demonstrated exceptional responsiveness to human motions, confirming its practical potential for wearable electronics applications.

With a strong ability in tailoring molecular structure, nanoscale morphology, and nanodomains, the ferromagnetic metal-organic framework (MOF, M = transition metal) has been considered an advantageous candidate material for dielectric nanocomposites. Herein, a pristine content-controlled Ag nanoparticle driving Ni metal-organic framework (Ag-NiMOF) ultra-thin 2D ferroelectric nanoplatelets have been synthesized by a two-step method, and applied to the PVDF-based energy storage materials. Comprehensive tests and multi-physics simulations have been conducted on the electrical properties of materials. The electric displacement-electric field (D-E) hysteresis loops of the composites show that the discharge density of 6.987 J/cm 3 ~ 2300 kV/cm has been achieved with a 10 wt% filler addition, namely 10Ag-NiMOF/PVDF, which indicates a 5.36 times increase in the discharge density. Finite element simulation further verifies the improvement of the displacement and electrical breakdown strength of the composites. This high performance indicates that both of the centrosymmetric lattice nanodomains of NiMOF and the electrons introduced by Ag nanoparticle would help induce greater polarization in the nanocomposite. Furthermore, the Coulomb blockade effect exerted by the Ag nanoparticle with an appropriate particle size and a fractional concentration can significantly improve the electrical breakdown strength. This 2D hybrid particle provides a novel idea for modifying dielectric composites for high storage device applications.

ZnO has been widely employed in the photodegradation of pollutants; however, it exhibits poor photocatalytic performance under visible light illumination. Thus, visible-light-driven heterostructured PVDF/ZnO/Ag 2 O photocatalysts were fabricated by combining the electrospinning, hydrothermal, and in situ deposition techniques. As matrix materials, it is easy to recycle and reuse electrospun PVDF nanofibers . ZnO nanorods anchored on PVDF nanofibers with a high specific surface area provide an abundance of photocatalytically active sites. As a photosensitizer , silver oxide nanoparticles enhance the visible-light photocatalytic efficiency. Thus, the composited PVDF/ZnO/Ag 2 O photocatalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance under both UV and visible light irradiation as a result of the enhanced electron-hole separation/transfer and broadened visible light absorption range. Under visible light irradiation, the kinetic constant of PVDF/ZnO/Ag 2 O nanocomposites is 24.4 and 6.73 times greater than that of PVDF/Ag 2 O and PVDF/ZnO, respectively. Moreover, the PVDF/ZnO/Ag 2 O nanocomposites exhibit advantages in recycling and reusing with high stability, thus considerably widening their practical applications in the field of environmental remediation.

Conductive hydrogels have attracted attention because of their wide application in wearable devices. However, it is still a challenge to achieve conductive hydrogels with high sensitivity and wide frequency band response for smart wearable strain sensors. Here, we report a composite hydrogel with piezoresistive and piezoelectric sensing for flexible strain sensors. The composite hydrogel consists of cross-linked chitosan quaternary ammonium salt (CHACC) as the hydrogel matrix, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) as the conductive filler, and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) as the piezoelectric filler. A one-pot thermoforming and solution exchange method was used to synthesize the CHACC/PEDOT: PSS/PVDF-TrFE hydrogel. The hydrogel-based strain sensor exhibits very high sensitivity (GF: 19.3), fast response (response time: 63.2 ms), and wide frequency range (response frequency: 5–25 Hz), while maintaining excellent mechanical properties (elongation at break up to 293%). It can be concluded that enhanced strain-sensing properties of the hydrogel are contributed to both greater change in the relative resistance under stress and wider response to dynamic and static stimulus by adding PVDF-TrFE. This has a broad application in monitoring human motion, detecting subtle movements, and identifying object contours and a hydrogel-based array sensor. This work provides an insight into the design of composite hydrogels based on piezoelectric and piezoresistive sensing with applications for wearable sensors.

Electret treatment was a simple method to enhance the charge-electrode properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) materials due to the increase of space charge and polarization charge of PVDF materials. The polarization charge was due to the electric dipole orientation change in loose nanofiltration PVDF membrane, which increased the electric dipole moment and improved the polarity of surface potential. Importantly, electret charges were less affected by ambient humidity. Therefore, the electret treatment could improve the surface negative potential of loose nanofiltration PVDF membrane, so as to improve its anti-fouling performance under certain conditions. Based on the above theoretical analysis, the influence and mechanism of the electret treatment on the surface potential, morphology, structure, hydrophilicity and anti-pollution performance of PVDF membrane were studied in this manuscript. When the electret time was 7.5 min and the electret voltage was 30 kV, the surface negative potential was the highest. The content of β phase crystals was 39.1%, which was 12.18% higher than that of untreated membrane. In addition, the surface morphology of PVDF membrane did not change significantly, but the water contact angle decreased slightly, and the pore size increased by 0.36–0.75 nm. Importantly, the flux and the rejection of dye and BSA increased to some extent, and the maximum rejection rate and water flux were increased by 10.34% and 20.25%, respectively. Through the cyclic filtration test and analysis, the anti-fouling performance of membrane was increased due to electrostatic repulsion.

Hybrid nanofillers designed for polymer dielectric nanocomposites are expected to obtain excellent dielectric energy storage performance by virtue of different morphologies and electrical properties. In this work, the 2D/2D heterostructures of 2D MoS 2 grown on the surface of 2D transition metal carbide Ti 3 C 2 MXene (MoS 2 @MXene) have been successfully obtained through hydrothermal reaction. MoS 2 @MXene was incorporated into poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) to form the PVDF based dielectric composites (MoS 2 @MXene/PVDF) through solution casting method. The composite with 3.47 wt% MoS 2 @MXene is very flexible with an elastic modulus of 385 MPa, which is not much different with pure PVDF (357 MPa). The maximum electric displacement at room temperature and an electric field of 400 MV/m is 10.96 μC/cm 2 , moreover the discharged energy density reaches 17.22 J/cm 3 , which is nearly 4.5 times that of pure PVDF (3.83 J/cm 3 at the maximum electric field of 250 MV/m). The dielectric constant of 3.47 wt% MoS 2 @MXene/PVDF at room temperature and 10 3 Hz is 24.3, and the loss is only 0.02. Even though the filler content is increased to 12.51 wt%, the loss is only 0.06, and the dielectric constant of the composite film can reach 145.2. Compared with the blend of PVDF and MXene, the dielectric constant of MXene@MoS 2 /PVDF shows more excellent frequency stability and lower dielectric loss.

Membrane will inevitably reach its end of life during long-term application. The current disposal approach of replacing end-of-life (EOL) membranes by new membranes constrains the economic efficiency and sustainability of the membrane-based wastewater treatment . Herein, we conducted a proof-of-concept study of regenerating EOL polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes from a full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR), to achieve an economical and sustainable membrane-based wastewater treatment. A novel chemical cleaning−solvent treatment−hydrophilic modification strategy was proposed for regenerating the EOL PVDF membranes. After the regeneration, the water permeance of the EOL membrane could be recovered from 43.7 ± 8.8 to 426.0 ± 40.3 L m −2 h −1 bar −1 , which was comparable with that of the new membrane. The solvent treatment slightly dissolved the membrane matrix and facilitated the detachment of recalcitrant foulants, which was responsible for the markedly recovered water permeance. The hydrophilic modification using polydopamine coating effectively improved surface hydrophilicity of membrane, endowing the regenerated membrane with better antifouling performance over the solvent treated membrane. The regenerated membrane was tested in an MBR for real municipal wastewater treatment, where the regenerated membrane possessed a comparable effluent quality, as well as a lower fouling rate over EOL, chemical cleaned, and solvent treated membranes. Compared with the conventional way of membrane replacement, the reduction in expenditure and carbon emission of membrane regeneration was ∼3.0 USD/m 2 -membrane/year and 0.059 kg CO 2 -e/membrane module, respectively. This proof-of-concept study offers a promising strategy of the EOL membrane regeneration to achieve economical and sustainable membrane-based wastewater treatment.
