Abstract
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is known as a favorite polymer from the family of fluoropolymers due to its excellent piezoelectric properties, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. It has a good processability, and it also possess chemical resistance property to different materials such as different acids, bases, organic solvents, oil, and fat. The present study reveals an overview of the recent growth and development in the application perspective and modification of PVDF membranes, majorly focus on sensors and actuators, spin-valve devices, magnetoelectric materials, energy harvesting applications, tissue engineering, modeling engineering, and other biomedical engineering and devices. From an electronic point of view, ferroelectric polymers are insulating, polar, and possess a non-conjugated backbone; therefore, they are termed as highly insulating materials. The insulating polymers are most attractive for the study of charge transportation and storage. Such polymers also yield the best electrets for practical application because of their insulating properties and high concentration of deep trapping sites. Thus, the objective of this review is to present the physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of PVDF. This article also provides an intelligent direction in the progress of PVDF in different fields of science and technology.

Abstract To improve the efficacy of transdermal drug delivery systems, the physical and chemical properties of drugs need to be optimized to better penetrate into the stratum corneum and to better diffuse into the epidermis and dermis layers. Accordingly, dual-biological function ionic liquids composed of active pharmaceutical ingredients were synthesized, comprising both analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, by combining a cation derived from lidocaine and anions derived from hydrophobic ...

We report a new type of responsive polymer film which is composed of pure poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and is prepared using a simple solution-casting method. This responsive PVDF film possesses an anisotropic spatial distribution of the α phase and β phase, resulting in a fast response rate, high sensitivity, and robust responsiveness to organic vapors. Experimental and computational studies illustrate that α-phase PVDF exhibits a much stronger swelling ability in acetone vapor than β-phase...

A high-performance actuator should be able to deliver large-shape deformations, fast actuations and sensitive responses to multiple stimuli. Here, we report such an actuator constructed from one layer of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a high coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and another layer of small sheets of graphene oxide (SGO) with a negative CTE. The opposite deformations of both actuation layers make the SGO/PVDF bilayer actuator highly sensitive to the temperature stimulus wit...

Abstract Nonlinear magnetoelectric (ME) effects in a flexible composite planar structure, containing mechanically coupled layers of amorphous FeBSiC ferromagnet and PVDF piezoelectric polymer have been experimentally investigated. Under the action of a weak harmonic magnetic field h with frequency f = 50–1000 Hz and tangential bias magnetic field H = 1–80 Oe, the structure generated a voltage of the same frequency. The efficiency of linear ME conversion reached 3.4 V/(cm·Oe) for the optimum bias...

The rational design of drug delivery approaches leveraging supramolecular chemistry (i.e., “chemistry beyond the molecule”) has garnered significant interest in recent years toward improving therapeutics. By using specific, dynamic, and tunable non-covalent interactions, engineered approaches to drug delivery can be realized. Certain benefits to this approach are molecular-level control of composition, improved routes for incorporating and targeting drugs, and new strategies to create delivery d...

Ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofilms have been fabricated by the Langmuir–Blodgett technique, possessing mainly a ferroelectric active phase and a controllable film thickness of 2.3 nm per layer. Atomic force microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the film properties. Importantly, the PVDF films could act as barrier layers to prepare spin transport devices using Fe3O4 and Co as bottom and top ferromagnetic electrodes, respectively...

The incorporation of high-dielectric permittivity ceramic or conductive fillers into the polymer is an effective method to obtain flexible high-performance dielectric materials, but it is still a huge challenge to achieve a balance between dielectric and mechanical properties. In this paper, we report a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposite based on a novel crab leg-like filler, in which Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were decorated on the surface of polydopamine (PDA)-coated silicon carbide (S...

Abstract null null Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) ultrafiltration membrane has many advantages that make it widely applicated in water treatment. Still, the PVDF membrane's nature easy to pollute the defects, which makes it a severe threat to the further development of the PVDF membrane, which makes hydrophilic modification necessitated. Here we fabricated the PVDF-based blended matrix nanocomposite membranes using hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) as the additive via low-...

Abstract null null Core–shell nanofillers designed for dielectric nanocomposites are expected to integrate high relative permittivity (er) and breakdown strength (Eb). However, conventional core–shell nanofillers exhibit two major drawbacks: (i) the low-er shell greatly limits the er of the entire nanofiller, and (ii) the differences of calcination performance and lattice constant between the core and shell materials induce extra imperfections, which can cause premature breakdown. As a result, s...
