In this paper, manufactured composite nanofiber by electrospinning that make spinning solvent according to weight of PAN/PVdF. PVdF content of composite nanofiber decreases, diameter of fiber decreased. Result that measure contact angle to confirm hydrophile property of PAN/PVdF composite nanofiber, PVdF content increases, could confirm that contact angle with water increases. After leave filter measurement sample for 25 hours in temperature of $40^{\circ}C$, humidity of 85%, result PAN/PVdF composite nanofiber that estimate efficiency could confirm that display performance of HEPA more than 99.95% and ULPA more than 99.999%. And fiber diameter is small, could confirm that filter performance increases. Tensile strength of bulk of PAN/PVdF composite nanofiber was 5-8MPa, expansion 100-300%. And strength and expansion could know that increase according as PVdF's content increases. Tensile strength was 3-8MPa degree after annealing PAN/PVdF composite nanofiber during 2 hours in 120t. Tensile strength was no change almost by annealing, and expansion could know that decrease.

Recently, many applications with grapheneoxide (GO) have been reported. But GO membrane for water treatment has not been developed. In this study we prepared polyvinylidene difluoride (PVdF) nanofiber/GO hybrid membrane (FG) for the microfiltration application. The PVdF substrate membrane was prepared by using the electrospinning method with a solution of PVdF in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and acetone. GO sheets used in this study were prepared by modified Hummer's method. The PVdF/GO hybrid membrane was finally prepared by spraying the GO solution dispersed in ethanol on the PVdF nanofiber. The successfully prepared FG was thoroughly examined by SEM, Raman, contact angle, porometer and UTM, and water-flux was measured with designed cell (Dead-End Cell). From the contact angle results, it was found that the surface of FG membrane was reformed by hydrophilic property and the water permeability was increased about 2.5 times than that of the nascent PVdF membrane, indicating the possible alternative of the commercial MF membrane.

A cation-exchange nanofiber poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF) membrane was prepared by a radiation-induced graft polymerization (RIGP) of sodium styrene sulfonate (NaSS) in the presence of the polymerizable access agents in methanol solution. The used polymerizable access agents include styrene, acrylic acid, and vinyl pyrrolidone. The anion-exchange nanofiber PVdF membrane was also prepared by RIGP of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and its subsequent chemical modification. The successful preparations of cation- and anion-exchange PVdF membranes were confirmed via SEM, XPS and thermal analysis. The content of the grafting yield, ion-exchange group, and water uptake was in the range of 30.0~32.3%, 2.81~3.01 mmol/g and 66.6~147%, respectively. The proton conductivity at 20$^{\circ}C$ was in the range of 0.020~0.053 S/cm. From the result, the prepared ionexchange PVdF membrane can be used as a separator in battery cells.

In this study the nanofiber was prepared by electrospinning method with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) and a completely dispersed solution of graphene oxide (GO) in the mixed solvent of dimethylformamide (DMF) and acetone. The $0.4{\mu}m$ pore size microfiltration flat membrane was made by increasing layers of the PVdF/GO composite nanofiber. Also, transmembrane pressure (TMP) was measured in order to evaluate fouling of the PVdF/GO composite membrane which was introduced GO reducing biological fouling with the intrinsic antibacterial characteristics. The permeate experiments were carried out simultaneously for the PVdF/GO and commercialized CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) flat membranes with $0.01m^2$ effective area in the activated sludge solution of MLSS 4,500 mg/L. TMP of PVdF/GO membrane decreased up to 79% lower than that of CPVC for $10L/m^2{\cdot}h$ permeate flux without air supply. Also, for the case of run/stop operational mode, TMP of PVdF/GO membrane decreased up to 69% lower than that of CPVC for $10L/m^2{\cdot}h$.

Poly vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) membrane were prepared by the electrospinning technique. We had applied a DLC coating process and then the surface of the membrane and the contact angle change was investigated. Electrospun fibrous PVdF-HFP membrane surface became to wrinkled shape by Ar plasma treatment and treatment conditions. The wrinkled surface of PVdF-HFP membrane became super-hydrophilic. However, after DLC coating process, it became super-hydrophobic. The resulting surfaces were characterized by water contact angle measurement, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Resultantly it was recognized that the wettability characteristics of the membrane surfaces depended on the chemical composition and surface morphology.

The multilayered membrane for lithium rechargeable batteries based on poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF) is prepared with the coated layer containing nano-sized filler. The prepared membranes were subjected to studies of mechanical strength, morphology, interfacial stability, impedance spectroscopy, ionic conductivity, and cycle performance. The localized inorganic filler in the PVdF composite membrane rendered mechanical strength much reduced because of its low stretching ratio and it results in around half value of the mechanical strength of highly stretched PVdF membrane. In order to achieve high ionic conductivity and interfacial stability without sacrificing high mechanical strength, coating layer with nano-filler was newly introduced to PVdF membrane. The ionic conductivity of the coated membrane was 1.03 mS/cm, and the interface between the coating layer and PVdF membrane was stable when the membrane was immersed into liquid electrolyte. The discharge capacity of the cell based on nano-filler coated PVdF membrane was around 91% of the initial discharge capacity after 250 cycles, which is an improvement in cycle performance compared to the case for the non-coated PVdF membrane.

In this study, high porous PVdF flat sheet membranes were prepared to obtain reinforced membrane support for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. Nano-size laponite was randomly dispersed in the membranes to improve mechanical property which lowered by the high porosity. The morphology and porosity of prepared PVdF/Laponite composite membranes were examined using the SEM analysis and the weight method and all membranes showed over 60% porosity. The membrane thermal stability depending on the laponite contents in the composite membranes was evaluated by membrane heat shrinkage at $105^{\circ}C$ and $135^{\circ}C$. MD and TD heat shrinkage of the PVdF composite membrane containing 5 wt% laponite was 2~3% and 2~3.5% at $135^{\circ}C$, respectively. The mechanical strength was enhanced after incorporating laponite particles and 30% increase in the modulus compared to pure PVdF membrane was obtained.

$^{19}F$ NMR experiments were carried out to observe the change of the characteristics of the PVdF binder which is an auxiliary material of the lithium ion battery. PVdF has various crystalline or amorphous phases by thermal treatment. A mixture of cathode and auxiliary materials including PVdF was coated on aluminum foil as an electron collector and then subjected to thermal treatment at various temperatures. The overlapped $^{19}F$ NMR signals obtained from the various phases were separately convoluted into the respective phases, and it was found that there was a relative ratio change of these phases. In addition, the crystal and amorphous phase of PVdF was changed during the vacuum drying, which is the last step of the actual electrode manufacturing. It was observed that the relative amount of amorphous phase, which may affect the flexibility of the electrode or the wettability of the electrolyte, abruptly changes after a certain temperature.

High surface area and high pore volume activated carbon was prepared by KOH activation of rice hull. The electrodes were fabricated by compounding the commercial and rice hull activated carbons with PVdF and PVdF-PVP mixed binders without addition of conductivity improver. The electrodes fabricated with rice hull activated carbon and PVdF-PVP mixed binders showed the best performance because the PVP played as a pore-forming agent. The electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical characteristics having 7.9 W.h/kg of energy density, 33.5 F/g of speific capacitance, 0.7 $\Omega$ of ESR and good efficiency of self-discharge compared with that fabricated with commercial activated carbons.
