- Currently, atomic force microscopy is the preferred technique to determine roughness on membrane surfaces. In this paper, a new method to measure surface roughness is presented using a 3D laser scanning confocal microscope for high-resolution topographic analysis and is compared to conventional SEM. For this study, the surfaces of eight samples based on a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) host polymer with different liquid interpenetrating components were analyzed. Polymethylhydrosiloxane, triethylene glycolallylmethyether, (3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) methylcyclotrisiloxane (D-3-C2H4CF3), polysiloxane-comb-propyloxymethoxytriglycol (PSx), poly-siloxane-comb-propyl-3,3,3-trifluoro (PSx-C2H4CF3), poly [bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy) ethoxy) phosphazene, or poly [bis(trifluoro) ethoxy] phosphazene was chosen as interpenetrating compound to investigate the impact of comb and double-comb-structured polymer backbones, as well as their dipolar or fluorous residues on the PVDF-HFP-miscibility. Different phases of the constituting ingredients were identified via their thermal properties determined by DSC. Additionally, the COSMO-RS method supported the experimental results, and with regard to computed sigma-profiles, new modified structures for polysiloxane and polyphosphazene synthesis were suggested.

- For the first time, the concept of fluorophilicity f(i) is adapted to the development of a novel solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) by computationally evaluating a new class of lithium salts, the perfluoroalkylated pyrazolides. An SPE consisting solely of poly(vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and different concentrations of highly-fluorous lithium [5-(perfluorobutyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl] trifluoroborate (LiPFAPB14) is reported. Membranes with a salt concentration up to 80 wt.% are prepared and are investigated by 3D laser scanning confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) concerning the correlation between the LiPFAPB14 salt concentrations with the miscibility in PVDF-HFP. Membrane performances as SPE are evaluated by impedance spectroscopy revealing ionic conductivities of 1.4 x 10(-4) S cm(-1) at 90 degrees C with 80 wt.% LiPFAPB14.
