Porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) scaffolds were prepared by selective laser sintering. The effects of laser energy density, ranging from 0.66 to 2.16 J/mm2, on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. At low energy density levels, PVDF particles could fuse well and the structure becomes dense with the increase of the energy density. Smoke and defects (such as holes) were observed when the energy density increased above 1.56 J/mm2which indicated decomposition of the PVDF powder. The scaffolds appeared to be light yellow and there was a reduction in tensile strength. The fabricated scaffolds were immersed into simulated body fluid for different time to evaluate biostability. In addition, MG63 cells were seeded and cultured for different days on the scaffolds. The testing results showed that the cells grew and spread well, indicating that PVDF scaffolds had good biocompatibility.

Dispersion of carbon black (CB) powder in CB/polymer composites considerably influences their mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductance. In this study, with the aim to improve the dispersion of CB powder in the CB/polymer composites, CB was treated with oxygen and nitrogen plasma generated by radio frequency-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD), and then, dispersed in a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (PVDF-HFP) solution. The solution was then subjected to electrospinning, leading to the formation of a nanofiber mat. The dispersion states of plasma treated CBs have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. A stress–strain curve was used to investigate the influence of dispersion on the mechanical properties of CB/polymer composites.
