Abstract Developing an antifouling and stable separation poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane for water treatment is of great significance but challenging due to the limitations of its low surface properties and strong hydrophobicity. In this study, a novel multi-block composite ultrafiltration membrane was developed using the mosaic-assembled doping of pineapple leaf nanocrystalline cellulose and g-C3N4. The effects of adding different components on the PVDF composite membrane properties have been analyzed. The surface chemical composition, surface morphology, crystallinity and thermal stability of the composite membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Both of the tensile strength and elongation length of the PVDF composite membranes were enhanced due to the addition of pineapple leaf nanocellulose and g-C3N4, and the tensile strength and elongation length of PVDF/PEG/g-C3N4/Pineapple leaf nanocellulose composite membrane can reach 10.61 MPa and 8.85 mm. The porosity of the PVDF composite membranes was 46.6%, respectively. The water flux and flux recovery ratio of PVDF/PEG/g-C3N4/Pineapple leaf nanocellulose also can reach 256.75 L/(m2 ⋅h) and up to 82.1%. All the above experimental data showed that the addition of pineapple leaf nanocellulose and g-C3N4 can greatly improve the performance of the PVDF composite membrane. The prepared modified membrane has potential application value in the field of wastewater separation and treatment.

Two composite polymeric membranes were synthesized using poly vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoroprropylene (PVDF-HFP) host in polyvinyl alcohol and with or without TiO2 nanoparticlesas a porous substrate. The structure of the membranes was PDVF-HFP/PVA and PVDF-HFP/PVA/TiO2.The composition of the synthesized membranes was analyzed by FTIR spectrum.The porosity of the polymer membranes were measured by immersing the membranes into n-butanol. The conductivity of the composite membranes was determined by impedance spectroscopy and the methanol permeability of the membranes was obtained from diffusion experiments. The surface morphology images were investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM). The SEM image of the composite membrane incorporated with TiO2 has many pores which increased the conductivity of the membrane as compared to non TiO2 incorporated one. The composite membrane with TiO2 showed a good balance between proton conductivity and methanol permeability. The cell with PVDF-HFP/PVA/TiO2 composite membrane showed higher power density.

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.

In the present study, an aluminum alloy AA6351 was reinforced with different percentages (1, 3 and 5 wt %) of TiB2 particles and they were successfully fabricated by in situ reaction of halide salts, potassium hexafluoro-titanate and potassium tetrafluoro-borate, with aluminium melt. Tensile strength, yield strength and hardness of the composite were investigated. In situ reaction between the inorganic salts K2TiF6 and KBF4 to molten aluminum leads to the formation of TiB2 particles. The prepared aluminum matrix composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Scanning electron micrographs revealed a uniform dispersal of TiB2 particles in the aluminum matrix. The results obtained indicate that the hardness and tensile strength were increased with an increase in weight percentages of TiB2 contents.
