Fabrication and modification of PVDF membrane by PDA@ZnO for enhancing hydrophilic and antifouling property

Antifouling and and antibacterial study of PSf/bio-ZnO nanoparticle (bio-ZnO NP) mixed matrix membrane for humic acid separation

“…When aloe vera is involved in the synthesis of bio-ZnO/NP and their incorporation into the PSF membrane, it can introduce hydrophilic functional groups on the membrane's surface. In this case, these hydrophilic groups enhance the bio-ZnO/NP MMMs' affinity for water molecules, promoting improved wettability and surface energy [33]. As a result, the aloe vera-assisted bio-ZnO/NP MMMs become more permeable to water and exhibits superior antifouling properties due to reduced fouling from organic and biological substances.…”

Enhancing piezoelectric effect of PVDF electrospun fiber through NiO nanoparticles for wearable applications

“…A variety of PVDF-based sensors as energy harvesting systems have been reported due to their many advantages such as flexible structure, ecological sustainability, strongly biocompatible, chemically inert, lower acoustic resistance and superior piezoelectric characteristics [ 22 , 23 ]. PVDF is a thermoplastic polymer consisting of five different crystalline phases ( α, β, γ, δ and ε ) [ 24 ], where α- phase is the only non-polar crystalline phase [ 25 ].…”
