Piezoelectricity in PVDF and PVDF Based Piezoelectric Nanogenerator: a Concept
IOSR Journal of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP) e-ISSN: 2278-4861.Volume 9, Issue 3 Ver. I (May. – June. 2017), PP 95-99 www.iosrjournals.org Piezoelectricity in PVDF and PVDF Based Piezoelectric Nanogenerator: A Concept Binoy Bera1,*, Madhumita Das Sarkar2 1,2Department of computer science and engineering, West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata – 700064, India Abstract: Polyvinylidene fluoride or simply PVDF is one of the most important semicrystalline polymers which generate piezoelectricity when a pressure or mechanical force applied on it. It has four crystalline phases α, β, ɣ and δ depending on the chain conformation structure. Among them α is non polar phase and β and ɣ are polar phase. Piezoelectricity in PVDF arises due to the β and ɣ phase formation. Several materials have been introduced for the preparation of nanogenerator. Among them PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is most interesting material used in nanogenerator preparation due to its flexibility, bio- compatiable, nontoxic in nature. It is used in nanogenerator application due to its good ferroelectric, piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. In this article we describe little bit concept about PVDF, its piezoelectricity and PVDF based nanogenerator. Application of piezoelectric nanogenerator is also briefly described here. Keywords: PVDF, nanogenerator, piezoelectricity, β phase, electrospinning, electroactive phase, Poling process. I. Introduction Polyvinylidene fluoride, or polyvinylidene difluoride, (PVDF) is a highly non- reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer produced by the polymerization of vinylidene difluoride. PVDF has four crystalline phases α, β, ɣ and δ depending on the chain conformation. Among them α is thermodynamically most stable and non polar in nature. β and ɣ are polar phase. -

No. 79-38-9) INTERIM CHLOROTRIFLUOROETHYLENE INTERIM: 06/2008/ Page 3 of 34 PREFACE Under the authority of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) P. L. 92-463 of 1972, the National Advisory Committee for Acute Exposure Guideline Levels for Hazardous Substances (NAC/AEGL Committee) has been established to identify, review and interpret relevant toxicologic and other scientific data and develop AEGLs for high priority, acutely toxic chemicals. AEGLs represent threshold exposure limits for the general public and are applicable to emergency exposure periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. Three levels – AEGL-1, AEGL-2 and AEGL-3 C are developed for each of five exposure periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours) and are distinguished by varying degrees of severity of toxic effects. The three AEGLs are defined as follows: AEGL-1 is the airborne concentration (expressed as parts per million or milligrams per cubic meter [ppm or mg/m3]) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic, non-sensory effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient and reversible upon cessation of exposure. AEGL-2 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects or an impaired ability to escape. -

The Uses of Polyvinylidene Fluoride Based Resins in Chemical Handling Systems Denis K
INTERCORR2014_306 Copyright 2014, ABRACO Trabalho apresentado durante o INTERCORR 2014, em Fortaleza/CE no mês de maio de 2014. As informações e opiniões contidas neste trabalho são de exclusiva responsabilidade do(s) autor(es). The Uses of Polyvinylidene Fluoride based resins in Chemical Handling Systems Denis K. de Almeidaa, Fabio L. F. Paganinib, David Seilerc Abstract Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based polymer resins have been used for corrosive and chemically aggressive fluid containment since 1964. In the 1980’s copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) were introduced that complimented the very rigid PVDF product line with a more flexible version of PVDF. Recently, other new technologies have been introduced for PVDF where it has been functionalized which allows it to be bonded to lower cost structural polymers during processing. Additionally, recent development of special grades of PVDF allow for finely woven and non-woven chemical filtration products and the creation of reliable conductive versions. Due to special properties not found in other plastics or metals, PVDF is used extensively in the following industries: chlor-alkali containment, bromine, acid production & distribution, mining, metal preparation, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, semiconductor, pulp & paper, waste water treatment, and power generation. This paper will outline the use of PVDF, reactive PVDF and/or PVDF based copolymers in specific chemicals and the special corrosive conditions that can be associated with them. -

PTFE and PFA Similarities and Differences White Paper PTFE and PFA Similarities and Differences
White Paper PTFE and PFA Similarities and Differences White Paper PTFE and PFA Similarities and Differences Introduction The purpose of this document is to define and compare two of the most used fluoropolymers, PTFE and PFA, in industry globally and clarify the differences between them. Defining PTFE and PFA Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that has numerous applications. The most widely known PTFE formulation is sold under the brand name of Teflon®. PTFE was discovered by DuPont Co. in 1938. Perfluoroalkoxy alkanes (PFA) is a copolymer of hexafluoropropylene and perfluoroethers. It was developed after the discovery of PTFE by the same producer (DuPont Co.). One commonly known PFA formulation is Teflon PFA. PFA has very similar properties to PTFE, though the biggest difference between PTFE and PFA is that PFA is melt-processed. This is accomplished through conventional injection molding as well as screw extrusion techniques. Area of use PTFE is popularly used as a non-stick coating for pans and many modern items of cookware. PTFE is often used in containers and pipes for handling reactive and corrosive chemicals. This is because it has non-reactive properties. Another practical application of PTFE is as a lubricant. Used in this way, PTFE helps to reduce friction within machinery, minimize the “wear and tear,” and improve energy consumption. PFA is generally used for plastic lab equipment because of its extreme resistance to chemical attack, optical transparency, and overall flexibility. PFA is also often used as tubing for handling critical or highly corrosive processes. Other applications for PFA are as sheet linings for chemical equipment. -

For this purpose long air gap distance was used (90 mm). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for membrane characterization. Gas permeation test was performed using carbon dioxide as test gas. It was observed that the effective surface porosity and membrane pore size increased with increased glycerol concentration. CO2 absorption using the fabricated hollow fiber membranes were measured in a gas-liquid hollow fiber membrane contactor. The results of the CO2 absorption rate of the tested fibers revealed that complete removal of CO2 was achieved using 7% glycerol added to the casted solution at normal operating conditions for equal gas to liquid volumetric flow rates using sodium hydroxide as absorbent liquid. membrane wetting Nishikawa et al.
