We report a simple approach for tailoring the morphology of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes fabricated using a nonsolvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method that sustains both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.

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.
