Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium Tetrafluoroborate ([BMMIm][BF4]) flat sheet membranes were made via thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) melt technology, and [BMMIm][BF4]) was used as a diluent. The prepared membranes were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and etc. Furthermore, [BMMIm][BF4] as a liquid-diluent was effectively recovered by vacuum distillation. In conclusion, this work may provide a green and sustainable preparation method to produce PVDF membranes via TIPS.

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement is used to investigate the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/polysulfone (PSF)/diethylene glycol dibenzoate (DEDB)/dibutyl phthalate (DBP) system via solid-liquid (S-L) phase separation during a thermally induced phase separation process. The effect of benzene ring in PSF on PVDF crystallization for PVDF/PSF/DEDB/DBP system is investigated. It is found that the Ozawa model can describe nonisothermal crystallization behavior of PVDF/PSF/DEDB/DBP system in a certain crystallization temperature range. Jeziorny method indicates that the secondary crystallization of PVDF exists in the process of nonisothermal crystallization and is enhanced by the increase of cooling rate.
