“…It can be perceived that the allotropes of carbon, such as graphene, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes can be modified with the ionic liquids [17,32,39]. Clay mineral like montmorillonite can not only be modified with surfactants [62,63] but also with the ionic liquids [10,15]. Additionally, metal oxides, for example, titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide have been modified with the ionic liquids [36,52].…”

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.

“…Adding surfactants, as a non‐covalent modification method, significantly lowers the surface tension of the nanofillers while maintaining their original properties. [ 73,74 ] The previous studies have also proved that proteins are effective surfactants that disentangle the CNT bundles in a polymer matrix. Ji et al.…”

Structural and compositional diversities of proteins generate a number of functions for fabricating novel and advanced materials. Recent progress in protein engineering endows flexible approaches and new functionalities, which makes the fabricated materials potentially applicable in a broad spectrum of fields. Such engineering strategies by applying proteins alone or together with other molecules derive numerous functional materials such as patterned nanometal materials/nanometallic compounds, well‐designed nanocomposites, etc. Advantages in materials’ tunability, property improvement (e.g., electronic and mechanical properties, etc.), functionalities, and biocompatibility have been demonstrated, thus providing alternatives to existing materials via conventional methods. This review summarizes and discusses the strategies of fabricating functional materials using proteins as the critical contributors. Benefiting from their versatility, proteins find their roles in engineering functional materials via acting as structure‐control agents, reaction agents, and battery components, which are emphasized in this review. The strategies of each group of functions are specifically detailed. Properties of protein‐engineered functional materials and their potential applications in the fields of microelectronics, energy storage and conversion, sensor devices, etc. are also reviewed.

“…The addition of an amphiphilic macroinitiator could also limit or eliminate the use of surfactants in emulsions or miniemulsions 23,34 . This prevents the common disadvantages associated with the presence of high concentrations of surfactants in polymer structures (such as the modification of mechano‐thermal properties) after drying 35,36 . The block copolymers of oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (OEGMA) and S were previously used as the surfactants for emulsion polymerization of S, indicating the applicability of OEGMA monomers for preparation of polymeric surfactants 37 .…”

SG1‐based amphiphilic macroinitiators were synthesized from oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate and 10 mol% acrylonitrile or styrene (as the controlling comonomer) to conduct the nitroxide mediated polymerization of bio‐based methacrylic monomers (isobornyl methacrylate (IBOMA) and C13 alkyl methacrylate (C13MA)) in miniemulsion. The effect of the addition of surfactant (DOWFAX 8390), co‐stabilizer (n‐hexadecane) and different reaction temperatures (80, 90 and 100°C) on polymerization kinetics was studied. We found that the NMP of IBOMA/C13MA using amphiphilic macroalkoxyamines were most effective during miniemulsion polymerization (linear trend of Mn versus conversion and high latex stability) in presence of 2 wt% surfactant and 0.8 wt% co‐stabilizer (relative to monomer) at 90°C. The effect of surfactant, co‐stabilizer and temperature on particle size during the polymerization was studied and suggested a decrease in initial particle size with the addition of surfactant and co‐stabilizer. Finally, the thermal properties of IBOMA/C13MA polymers, prepared by amphiphilic macroinitiators, were examined thoroughly, indicating a Tg in the range of −44°C < Tg < 109°C.
