Mechanically and piezoelectrically anisotropic polymer fibers may be formed by spinning a polymer solution or gel that includes a high molecular weight crystallizable polymer and a liquid solvent. The solvent may be configured to interact with the polymer to facilitate chain alignment and, in some examples, create a higher crystalline content within the spun fibers. The polymer solution may also include a low molecular weight additive. The high and low molecular weight polymers may each be characterized by a bimodal molecular weight distribution where the molecular weight of the additive is less than the molecular weight of the crystallizable polymer. The polymer(s) and the additive(s) may be independently selected from vinylidene fluoride, trifluoroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, hexafluoropropene, vinyl fluoride, etc. The spun fibers may be oriented, annealed, poled, and woven or laminated to form a polymer thin film having a high elastic modulus and a high electromechanical coupling factor.

An optically anisotropic polymer thin film includes a crystallizable polymer and an additive configured to interact with the polymer (e.g., via π-π interactions) to facilitate chain alignment and, in some examples, create a higher crystalline content within the polymer thin film. The polymer thin film may be characterized by a bimodal molecular weight distribution where the molecular weight of the additive may be less than approximately 50% of the molecular weight of the crystallizable polymer. Example crystallizable polymers include polyethylene naphthalate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene naphthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, as well as derivatives thereof.

The optically anisotropic polymer thin film may be characterized by a refractive index greater than approximately 1.7 and an in-plane birefringence greater than approximately 0.2.

The invention relates to a gas separation polymer composite membrane with high pressure resistance as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving a crystalline polymer in a good solvent, uniformly coating the polymer solution on the surface of a flat substrate, immersing the flat substrate in an ionic liquid with weak interaction with the polymer, and carrying out solvent exchange treatment at a constant temperature.

This invention discloses a method for preparing defect-free zeolite molecular sieve-based mixed matrix membranes via low-temperature crosslinking, belonging to the field of gas separation membrane preparation technology. The invention first prepares a zeolite precursor using a silicon source, a template agent, and water as raw materials. Then, it modifies the template agent-containing zeolite precursor with carboxylic acid to obtain a template-free zeolite precursor. This template-free zeolite precursor is then used as an inorganic filler to prepare a mixed matrix membrane. The layered zeolite precursor has a richer number of hydroxyl groups on its surface than conventional zeolites, facilitating its bonding with polymers. These hydroxyl groups interact with the polymer during the low-temperature heating-initiated crosslinking reaction, effectively solving the compatibility problem between the filler and the polymer, resulting in a high-performance, defect-free zeolite molecular sieve-based mixed matrix membrane.
