A Succinct Review on the PVDF/Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquid Blends and Composites: Preparations, Properties, and Applications

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is a versatile thermoplastic fluoropolymer with intriguing characteristics, which is receiving considerable attention from researchers in many areas. Recently, PVDF and its copolymer, such as poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) have been blended with ionic liquids to produce blend and composite materials for target applications. In this succinct review, two types of ionic liquids that are utilized for the preparation of PVDF and PVDF-HFP blends and composites, namely, hydrophilic and hydrophobic imidazolium-based ionic liquids, are reviewed. In addition, the effect of the ionic liquids on the physicochemical properties of the PVDF and PVDF-HFP blends and composites, is described as well. On top of that, a multitude of applications of the blends and composites are also succinctly reviewed. This review may give inspirations to the polymer blend and composite researchers in diversifying the applications of thermoplastic fluoropolymers through the utilization of ionic liquids.

Based on the selective adsorption property of the imidazolium-type hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquid (hb-PIm+PF6-) towards anionic dyes, it was incorporated into poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix to modify PVDF film. The composite hb-PIm+PF6-/PVDF films were prepared via non-solvent-induced phase inversion method. The obtained composite films were characterized by attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and contact angle goniometry. Using bromophenol blue (BPB, an acidic dye) as the model molecule, the dynamic and static adsorption properties of the hb-PIm+PF6-/PVDF films were investigated, respectively. It is significant that the hb-PIm+PF6-/PVDF composite films could efficiently remove BPB from water under dynamic condition.
