Ternary composites of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) with sil...
Sengupta, S.; Tubio, C. R.; Pinto, R. S.; Barbosa, J.; Silva, M. M.; Gonçalves, R.; Kundu, M.; Lanceros-Mendez, S.; Costa, C. M.In the realm of polymer composites, there is growing interest in the use of more than one filler for achieving multifunctional properties. In this work, a composite separator membrane has been developed for lithium-ion battery application, by incorporating conductive silver nanowires (AgNWs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) polymer matr...
All printed soft actuators based on ionic liquid/polymer hybrid materials
Correia, D. M.; Fernandes, L. C.; Pereira, N.; Barbosa, J. C.; Serra, J. P.; Pinto, R. S.; Costa, Carlos Miguel Silva; Lanceros-Méndez, S.Soft actuators are increasingly being required for a variety of application ranging from robotics to biomedicine. This work reports on the development of printable materials for soft actuator applications based on ionic liquids (ILs) and a fluorinated polymer, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). ILs sharing the same cation 1‑butyl‑3-methylimidazolium, [Bmim]+ and different anions (tricyanomethanide, [C(CN3)]−, di...
Ionic liquid based Fluoropolymer solid electrolytes for Lithium-ion batteries
Serra, J. P.; Pinto, R. S.; Barbosa, J. C.; Correia, Daniela Maria Silva; Gonçalves, R.; Silva, M. M.; Lanceros-Méndez, S.; Costa, Carlos Miguel SilvaComposite materials based on ionic liquids (ILs) / poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and their copolymers have emerged as an interesting approach to develop high ionic conductivity solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium-ion battery application. This work reports the development of SPEs based on fluoropolymers, PVDF and poly(vinylidene fluoride co-hexafluoropropylene), PVDF-HFP, containing different ILs: 1...
