Electrospun composite nanofibers of poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene)/polyaniline-polystyrene sulfonic acid
( 3640–3644)Journal of Applied Polymer  Science 119 #6 (2010)
Pinto of University of Puerto Rico-Humacao, Puerto Rico  produced 6 nm nanofibers at room temperature the spinning solution was homogeneous with no polymer segregation or degradation.  The presence of conducting PANi-PSSA increased the charge density of the solution and assisted in the fabrication of PVDF-TrFE nanofibers at low polymer concentrations in dimethylformamide without the beading effect.  (RDC 12/9/2010)

Kinetics of Thermally Induced Phase Separation in the PVDF Blend/Methyl Salicylate System and Its Effect on Membrane Structures
(1 – 15) Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part B - Physics 50  #1 (2011)
Ma et al of Nanjing University of Technology and Tsinghua University, China  prepared microporous membranes by thermally induced phase separation of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend (with mass ratio, 70/30)/methyl salicylate system.   The structure of the resulting PVDF blend membranes was greatly affected by liquid-liquid phase separation and PVDF crystallization.   (RDC 11/23/2010)
