AbstractIn this article small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to characterize the structural parameters of semi-crystalline blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(methyl methacrylate). Different blend compositions from 100 to 50 wt.-% of PVDF were investigated. The samples were considered to be isotropic. As two-dimensional SAXS patterns with cylindrical symmetry were examined, a single direction in the SAXS pattern plane was chosen to collect and plot absolute intensities versus the scattering vector. Using the one-dimensional (linear) electron density correlation and interface distribution functions obtained, respectively, from the Fourier-transformed Lorentz-corrected experimental scattering intensity and from the interference function, structural parameters such as the minimal value and the most probable value of the long period, the average lamellar thickness, and the volume crystallinity were determined.

The tribological performance of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and carbon fibre reinforced poly(vinylidene fluoride) (CF/PVDF) were examined. Different contents of carbon fibres were employed as reinforcement. All filled and unfilled polyimide composites were tested against CGr15 ball and representative testing was performed. The effects of carbon fibre content on tribological properties of the composites were investigated. The worn surface morphologies of neat PVDF and its composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the wear mechanisms were discussed. Moreover, all filled PVDFs have superior tribological characteristics to unfilled PVDFs. The optimum wear reduction was obtained when the content of carbon fibre is 20vol%.

Novel textiles have received a lot of attention from researchers in the last decade due to some of their unique features. The introduction of intelligent materials into textile structures offers an opportunity to develop multifunctional textiles, such as sensing, reacting, conducting electricity and performing energy conversion operations. In this research work nanocomposite-based highly piezoelectric and electroactive β-phase new textile has been developed using the pad-dry-cure method. The deposition of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) − carbon nanofillers (CNF) − tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), Si(OCH2CH3)4 was acquired on a treated textile substrate using coating technique followed by evaporation to transform the passive (non-functional) textile into a dynamic textile with an enhanced piezoelectric β-phase. The aim of the study is the investigation of the impact the coating of textile via piezoelectric nanocomposites based PVDF-CNF (by optimizing piezoelectric crystalline phase). The chemical composition of CT/PVDF-CNC-TEOS textile was detected by qualitative elemental analysis (SEM/EDX). The added of 0.5% of CNF during the process provides material textiles with a piezoelectric β-phase of up to 50% has been measured by FTIR experiments. These results indicated that CNF has high efficiency in transforming the phase α introduced in the unloaded PVDF, to the β-phase in the case of nanocomposites. Consequently, this fabricated new textile exhibits glorious piezoelectric β-phase even with relatively low coating content of PVDF-CNF-TEOS. The study demonstrates that the pad-dry-cure method can potentially be used for the development of piezoelectric nanocomposite-coated wearable new textiles for sensors and energy harvesting applications. We believe that our study may inspire the research area for future advanced applications.
