Abstract
Batteries have broad application prospects in the aerospace, military, automotive, and medical fields. The performance of the battery separator, a key component of rechargeable batteries, is inextricably linked to the quality of the batteries. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based membrane, in addition to PTFE's intrinsic properties of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, also possesses characteristics such as high porosity and high strength, making it an ideal substrate for the separator in current high-performance batteries, such as fuel cells (FC), all-vanadium redox liquid current batteries (VRBs), solid-state batteries (SSBs), and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). This paper introduces the PTFE membrane's main preparation methods and application fields and outlines its advantages as a battery separator. It then comprehensively describes the status of PTFE-based battery separator applications, sums up the advantages and development prospects of PTFE-based battery separators, and looks forward to the important role and challenges PTFE-based battery separators will play in the future of rechargeable batteries and even in new energy equipment with even more harsh and complex electrolytes. In the future, PTFE-based battery separators will be used in rechargeable batteries and even in new energy devices with more severe and complex electrolytes, which will play an important role and challenge in providing a reference for the research on PTFE-based battery separators.

Abstract
Telmisartan (TEL) is a promising antihypertensive agent among other angiotensin receptor blockers. However, its oral application is limited by its poor water solubility. This study presents the successful utilization of biomaterial-based hydrogel-forming microneedles integrated with a direct compressed tablet reservoir (HFMN-DCT) for the transdermal delivery of telmisartan in the treatment of hypertension. The combination of PVP, PVA, and tartaric acid was used in the HFMN formulation. A range of cross-linking temperatures and times were employed to optimize the characteristics of the HFMN. The HFMN exhibited excellent swelling capacity, mechanical strength, and insertion properties. Additionally, the poorly soluble characteristic of TEL was improved by the inclusion complex formulation with β-cyclodextrin (βCD). Phase solubility analysis showed an Ap-type diagram, indicating a higher-order complex between TEL and βCD, with respect to βCD. A ratio of TEL:βCD of 1:4 mM demonstrates the highest solubility enhancement of TEL. The inclusion complex formation was confirmed by FTIR, XRD, DSC, and molecular docking studies. A significantly higher release of TEL (up to 20-fold) from the inclusion complex was observed in the in vitro release study. Subsequently, a DCT reservoir was developed using various concentrations of sodium starch glycolate. Essentially, both the HFMN and DCT reservoir exhibit hemocompatibility and did not induce any skin irritation. The optimized combination of the HFMN-DCT reservoir showed an ex vivo permeation profile of 83.275 ± 2.405%. Notably, the proposed system showed superior pharmacokinetic profiles in the in vivo investigation using male Wistar rats. Overall, this study highlights the potential of HFMN-DCT reservoir systems as a versatile platform for transdermal drug delivery applications.

Novel Design of Superhydrophobic and Anticorrosive PTFE and PAA + β - CD Composite Coating Deposited by Electrospinning, Spin Coating and Electrospraying Techniques. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14204356. [PMID: 36297934 PMCID: PMC9612328 DOI: 10.3390/polym14204356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Revised: 09/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
A superhydrophobic composite coating consisting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and poly(acrylic acid)+ β-cyclodextrin (PAA + β-CD) was prepared on an aluminum alloy AA 6061T6 substrate by a three-step process of electrospinnig, spin coating, and electrospraying. The electrospinning technique is used for the fabrication of a polymeric binder layer synthesized from PAA + β-CD. The superhydrophilic characteristic of the electrospun PAA + β-CD layer makes it suitable for the absorption of an aqueous suspension with PTFE particles in a spin-coating process, obtaining a hydrophobic behavior. Then, the electrospraying of a modified PTFE dispersion forms a layer of distributed PTFE particles, in which a strong bonding of the particles with each other and with the PTFE particles fixed in the PAA + β-CD fiber matrix results in a remarkable improvement of the particles adhesion to the substrate by different heat treatments. The experimental results corroborate the important role of obtaining hierarchical micro/nano multilevel structures for the optimization of superhydrophobic surfaces, leading to water contact angles above 170°, very low contact angle of hysteresis (CAH = 2°) and roll-off angle (αroll−off < 5°). In addition, a superior corrosion resistance is obtained, generating a barrier to retain the electrolyte infiltration. This study may provide useful insights for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Recent advancements in separation and membrane technologies have shown a great potential in removing oil from wastewaters effectively. In addition, the capabilities have improved to fabricate membranes with tunable properties in terms of their wettability, permeability, antifouling, and mechanical properties that govern the treatment of oily wastewaters. Herein, authors have critically reviewed the literature on membrane technology for oil/water separation with a specific focus on: 1) membrane properties and characterization, 2) development of various materials (e.g., organic, inorganic, and hybrid membranes, and innovative materials), 3) membranes design (e.g., mixed matrix nanocomposite and multilayers), and 4) membrane fabrication techniques and surface modification techniques. The current challenges and future research directions in materials and fabrication techniques for membrane technology applications in oil/water separation are also highlighted. Thus, this review provides helpful guidance toward finding more effective, practical, and scalable solutions to tackle environmental pollution by oils.

Abstract
Air and water pollution poses a serious threat to public health and the ecological environment worldwide. Particulate matter (PM) is the major air pollutant, and its primary sources are processes that require high temperatures, such as fossil fuel combustion and vehicle exhaust. PM0.3 can penetrate and seriously harm the bronchi of the lungs, but it is difficult to remove PM0.3 due to its small size. Therefore, PM0.3 air filters that are highly efficient and resistant to high temperatures must be developed. Polyimide (PI) is an excellent polymer with a high temperature resistance and a good mechanical property. Air filters made from PI nanofibers have a high PM removal efficiency and a low air flow resistance. Herein, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) was used to modify PI nanofibers to fabricate air filters with a high specific surface area and filtration efficiency. Compared with traditional PI membranes, the ZIF-8/PI multifunction nanofiber membranes achieved super-high filtration efficiency for ultrafine particles (PM0.3, 100%), and the pressure drop was only 63 Pa. The filtration mechanism of performance improvement caused by the introduction of ZIF-8/PI nanofiber membrane is explored. Moreover, the ZIF-8/PI nanofiber membranes exhibited excellent thermal stability (300 C) and efficient water–oil separation ability (99.85%).

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 417:126033.

Abstract
In this study, a novel, oxidized poly (arylene sulfide sulfone) (O-PASS) nanofibrous membrane filter was successfully fabricated for the effective removal of particulate matter. PASS was electrospun into a nanofibrous membrane with an average nanofiber diameter of 0.31 µm and basis weight of 3 g/m2. These specifications were chosen as they showed high particulate matter removal efficiency (99.98%), low pressure drop (68 Pa), and high quality factor QF (0.125 Pa-1). In addition, the filtration mechanism of the PASS nanofibrous membrane was intuitively revealed by simulating the intercepted particular distributions and motion paths of particles. After a simple oxidation treatment, the O-PASS nanofibrous membrane was successfully built up. The microstructure and morphology showed little change compared with the PASS nanofiber, but the oxidation treatment significantly improved the mechanical properties of the membrane from 1.51 MPa to 4.92 MPa. More importantly, the O-PASS nanofibrous membrane still exhibited high removal efficiency after high temperature, acid, alkali, or organic solvent treatments. Overall, O-PASS nanofibrous membranes are promising high-performance filter materials with high temperature and corrosion resistance.

Abstract
As researchers are striving to develop high-performance filtration membranes with hierarchical micro/nano structures, the challenges and costs of processing often limit creative innovation. Here, we propose a polyethersulfone/polyacrylonitrile (PES/PAN) nanofiber membrane with groove structure by electrospinning and facile post-processing. The resulted membrane can form a groove structure on the surface of the fiber after being soaked in chloroform, thereby increasing the collision probability and extending the residence time for ultrafine particulates and improving the filtration efficiency. The groove structure can be attributed to the solubility of PES constituent in chloroform, while PAN constituent will not be dissolved, thus forming a high-performance nanofiber membrane with high filtration efficiency (ca. 99.54%) and withstand pressure drop (ca. 133.9 Pa) for dioctyl phthalate aerosol particles with diameter of 0.3μm. The results show that this convenient and low-cost fabrication technology can be used to prepare high-performance nanofiber membrane based air filters that have broad application prospects in respiratory protective equipment.

Abstract
Oil/water mixtures are a potentially major source of environmental pollution if efficient separation technology is not employed during processing. A large volume of oil/water mixtures is produced via many manufacturing operations in food, petrochemical, mining, and metal industries and can be exposed to water sources on a regular basis. To date, several techniques are used in practice to deal with industrial oil/water mixtures and oil spills such as in situ burning of oil, bioremediation, and solidifiers, which change the physical shape of oil as a result of chemical interaction. Physical separation of oil/water mixtures is in industrial practice; however, the existing technologies to do so often require either dissipation of large amounts of energy (such as in cyclones and hydrocyclones) or large residence times or inventories of fluids (such as in decanters). Recently, materials with selective wettability have gained attention for application in separation of oil/water mixtures and surfactant stabilized emulsions. For example, a superhydrophobic material is selectively wettable toward oil while having a poor affinity for the aqueous phase; therefore, a superhydrophobic porous material can easily adsorb the oil while completely rejecting the water from an oil/water mixture, thus physically separating the two components. The ease of separation, low cost, and low-energy requirements are some of the other advantages offered by these materials over existing practices of oil/water separation. The present review aims to focus on the surface engineering aspects to achieve selectively wettability in materials and its their relationship with the separation of oil/water mixtures with particular focus on emulsions, on factors contributing to their stability, and on how wettability can be helpful in their separation. Finally, the challenges in application of superwettable materials will be highlighted, and potential solutions to improve the application of these materials will be put forward.

Abstract
Introduction: Simulating hydrophobic-hydrophilic composite face with hierarchical porous and fibrous architectures of bone extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key aspect in bone tissue engineering. This study focused on the fabrication of new three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), with and without graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles using the chemical cross-linking and freeze-drying methods for bone tissue application. The effects of GO on physicochemical features and osteoinduction properties of the scaffolds were evaluated through an in vitro study. Methods: After synthesizing the GO nanoparticles, two types of 3D scaffolds, PTFE/PVA (PP) and PTFE/PVA/GO (PPG), were developed by cross-linking and freeze-drying methods. The physicochemical features of scaffolds were assessed and the interaction of the 3D scaffold types with human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs) including attachment, proliferation, and differentiation to osteogenic like cells were investigated. Results: GO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized with no agglomeration. The blending of PTFE as a hydrophobic polymer with PVA polymer and GO nanoparticles (hydrophilic compartments) were successful. Two types of 3D scaffolds had nano topographical structures, good porosities, hydrophilic surfaces, thermal stabilities, good stiffness, as well as supporting the cell attachments, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. Notably, GO incorporating scaffolds provided a better milieu for cell behaviors. Conclusion: Novel multiscale porous nanofibrous 3D scaffolds made from PTFE/ PVA polymers with and without GO nanoparticles could be an ideal candidate for bone tissue engineering as a 3D template.
