Abstract:Electrospinning fibrous membranes have attracted a great deal of attention because of their advantages, including uniform pore size, large ratio surface area, and high porosity. For extended application in lithium-ion battery, it is essential to further improve their electrochemical, mechanical, and thermal properties. In this work, a new poly (phthalazine ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK)/polyvinyli-denefluoride (PVDF) core/shell fibrous membrane was fabricated via the coaxial electrospinning technique, followed … Show more

Electrospinning is one of the leading techniques for fiber development. Still, one of the biggest challenges of the technique is to control the nanofiber morphology without many trial-and-error tests. In this study, it is demonstrated that via design of experiments (DoE), response surface methodology (RSM) and machine learning regressions (MLR) it is possible to predict the beads-on-string size, size distribution and bead density in electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) mats with a small number of tests. PVDF concentration, dimethylacetamide/acetone ratio, tip-to-collector voltage and distance were the parameters considered for the design. The results show good agreement between the experimental and modeled data. It was found that concentration and solvent ratio play the main roles in minimizing bead size and number, distance tends to reduce them, and voltage does not play a significant role. As an evaluation of the potential of the method, bead-free fibers were obtained through the predicted parameter values. Comparison of the performance of the two methods is presented for the first time in electrospinning research. Response surface methodology resulted much faster, but MLR achieved a lower error and better generalization abilities. This approach and the availability of the MLR script used in this work may help other groups implement it in their research and find information hidden in the data while improving model prediction performance.

“…The strongest peak of the α phase is stated to be 766 cm À1 . [64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] As a result of all of this, crystalline phase analyses and crystalline phase percentages were investigated in the presented study using FTIR measurements FTIR analyses were conducted for each sample to specify the degree of crystallinity of the β phase content.

The piezoelectric vibration energy harvesting performance of an electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) nanocomposite piezo polymer nanogenerator was investigated in this study. To obtain the highest piezoelectric output value, electrospinning was performed using four distinct solvent volume ratios of Acetone/Dimethylformamide (DMF) of 0:10, 2:8, 4:6, and 6:4 and three different PVDF weight percent polymer concentrations of 10, 15, and 20. Additionally, three distinct BaTiO3 addition weight percents of 5, 10, and 15 were investigated. The optimal concentration of PVDF (15 wt.%) was combined with a 6:4 volume ratio of Acetone/DMF to form a nanocomposite piezo polymer nanogenerator. The morphology and crystalline structure of PVDF and PVDF/BaTiO3 were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Nanocomposite piezo polymer nanogenerator was manufactured to harvest energy from vibration. A cantilever beam was developed without a tip mass type system for piezoelectric energy harvesting tests. The highest piezoelectric power output was obtained as 0.243 μW (15 wt.% PVDF and 5 wt.% BaTiO₃), Acetone/DMF (6:4 vol./vol.)) under 10 MΩ at the 15.7 Hz resonance frequency. The morphology of electrospun nanofibers has a significant impact on the piezoelectric performance of a nanocomposite piezo polymer nanogenerator at high-amplitude vibration.
“…Moreover, PPESK electrospun membranes have high porosity of 70%, electrolyte uptake of 525% and interfacial resistance at 268 Ω which results in excellent ionic conductivity of 1.39 mS cm −1 . Furthermore, they used coaxial electrospinning technology to fabricate PPESK fibrous membrane composited with PVDF to improve performance [83,84]. The PPESK/PVDF has a thermal shutdown temperature of 170 °C, better electrolyte uptake and ionic conductivity than that of commercial PP/PE/PP separators by virtue of the comprehensive properties of polymer composite.…”
Poly(arylene ether)s (PAEs) engineering plastics are a type of high-performance material which are excellent in thermal resistance, mechanical properties, and have low dielectric constant and anti-corrosion. Over recent decades, PAEs further combined with the electrospinning technology to fabricate as large surface-to-volume ratio and porosity membrane materials for high-performance applications. In this review, progresses of PAEs-based electrospun nanofibers and fiber reinforced composites including proton/anion exchange membranes, oil-water separation membranes, bio-scaffolds and humidity sensors, etc. are presented together with their corresponding high-performance applications in the fields of fuel cell, wastewater treatment, bioengineering and flexible durable sensor. Finally, current challenges and future development directions of PAEs electrospun nanofibers are discussed.
