Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) / poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite membrane was produced by the electrospinning technique. Thermal treatment was introduced to improve the mechanical property and dimensional stability. In this paper, the PVDF/PMMA membranes before and after thermal treatment were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) , pore size and porosity test, electrolyte uptake test and tensile test. The pore size, porosity, electrolyte uptake rate, tensile property, as well as melting temperature and crystallinity changed with the treated temperature. The results show that thermal treatment could notably increase the tensile property of electrospun PVDF/PMMA composite membrane and 160°C is a proper temperature for thermal treating.

The electrospinning technique was used to produce poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane. Thermal treatment was introduced to improve the mechanical property and dimensional stability. In this paper, the PVDF membranes before and after thermal treatment were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), tensile testing. The crystallinity, tensile property, as well as melting temperature changed with the treated temperature. The results hows that thermal treatment could notably increase the tensile property of electrospun PVDF membrane and 160°C is a proper temperature for thermal treating

The electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/montmorillonite nanofibrous composite membranes (esCPMs) were prepared by electrospinning technique using a mixture of different amounts of montmorillonite (0, 3, 5, 7 and 10 wt%) into 16 wt% of PVDF-HFP polymer solution in 7:3 wt% of acetone and dimethylacetamide as the solvent. The effect of montmorillonite (MMT) on electrospun PVdF-HFP membrane has been studied by XRD, DSC, TGA and tensile strength analysis. It is found that electrospun PVDF-HFP/MMT nanofibrous composite membrane obtained using 5wt% MMT has a higher porosity, electrolyte uptake, ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability window and showed higher specific capacitance and good compatibility with electrode materials.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hybrid membranes reinforced by hydrophilic nanoSiO2 particles were fabricated from PVDF/N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc)/γ-butyrolactone (γ-BL) system via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process. Surface and cross-sectional morphology of membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The properties such as permeability, mechanical performances and antifouling property were also determined. The results showed that the pore size of membrane surface became smaller, while cross-sectional morphology was changed from bicontinuous structure to cell structure, the pore size became larger and majorities of closed pores became open with the addition of hydrophilic nanoSiO2 particles in the system. Compared with pure membrane, pure water flux of hybrid membrane increased by 30.3%, i.e. from 290 to 378 L/(m2·h·0.1MPa), antifouling property increased from 63.1% to 80.2%. Meanwhile, tensile strength and elongation at break increased by 70.6% and124%, respectively.
