SUMMARY:Thermal Drawing Of Low-Dimensional Material-Integrated Triboelectric Fibers For Healthcare Applications
DESCRIPTION:Thermal Drawing Of Low-Dimensional Material-Integrated Triboelectric Fibers For Healthcare Applications \nMSc Thesis Defense \nMd Sazid Bin Sadeque\nAdvisor – Mustafa Ordu \nAbstract: The potential of flexible wearable devices and sensors to revolutionize healthcare lies in their ability to facilitate real-time monitoring. However\, many of these wearable sensors are extensive energy consumers\, and the requirement of bulky energy storage devices significantly hampers their acceptability. Currently available sensing devices mostly employ film-based devices\, which lack breathability\, reducing their applicability in widespread healthcare applications. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are environmentally sustainable devices that convert mechanical and biomechanical energy into electrical output through the synergetic processes of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction. These devices effectively harvest low-frequency mechanical and biomechanical energy and enable self-powered sensing. TENG performance can be enhanced by incorporating low dimensional materials with high specific surface area into flexible ferroelectric polymers. Ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers are particularly advantageous due to their high dielectric constant and abundant highly electronegative fluorine ions. Various low dimensional materials can interact with the polar groups of PVDF and reorient them to conform to electroactive phases. Moreover\, they can also form micro-capacitors and modulate the surface properties of nanocomposite. In this thesis\, we aim to prepare a triboelectric nanogenerator integrated textile fiber with self-energy generating ability and breathability as textiles. We employed the thermal drawing process as a fabrication platform for preparing continuous triboelectric fibers. Graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) and Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are added to the PVDF matrix to improve triboelectric properties. β phases of thermally drawn nanocomposite fibers demonstrate significant improvement and were increases to 37.6%\, 39.5%\, and 43.3% for 1\, 3\, 5% GNP integration. For the case of MoS2\, β phase increases to 47.5% for 3 wt% MoS2; however\, β phase decreases beyond 3 wt%. The nanocomposite TENG fibers demonstrate improved triboelectric properties. The fibers show superior sensitivity\, flexibility and durability\, enabling their applications in critical healthcare applications. \nKeywords: Triboelectric nanogenerator\, thermal drawing\, wearable sensors\, respiration monitoring\, blinking monitoring.

SUMMARY:Polymeric Membranes - in gas- and liquid-phase separation
DESCRIPTION:Volkan Filiz\nHelmholtz-Zentrum Hereon \n\n  \nPolymeric Membranes – in gas- and liquid-phase separations \nThe main research focus at the Institute of Membrane Research at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon is the development of membranes for liquid and gas phase separation. Water shortages\, climate change and energy transition: separation of substances plays a vital role in these challenges. We help provide solutions to these global problems at the Institute of Membrane Research by developing innovative membranes and membrane processes. This involves a holistic\, interdisciplinary approach: it includes developing new materials\, processing these materials into membranes as well as constructing pilot plants in which these systems are made ready for implementation.. \nSpecifically\, the synthesis and characterization of tailor-made polymers for membrane applications is in the foreground\, while the use of state of the art methods for fabrication of membranes with outstanding separation performances (e.g.\, in separation of CO2 in gas streams\, or protein separation in liquid phase) is the challenge that our Institute deals with. The focus of the talk will be polymers of intrinsic microporosity. \n  \nAbout Speaker\nVolkan Filiz is currently the head of the Department “Microporous Polymers” at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in the Institute of Membrane Research under the supervision of Prof. Volker Abetz. He has earned his B.S. and M.S. degrees in chemistry at the University of Hamburg\, Germany and received in 2009 from the Institute of Physical Chemistry his Ph.D. in chemistry under the supervision of Prof. Stephan Förster. The research topic was polymersomes for drug delivery and targeting. His research interests now include the synthesis of new monomers and tailor-made polymers for membrane applications in gas- and liquid-phase separation. \nHe is currently also involved in teaching at the University of Hamburg and is registered for habilitation at the University of Kiel. \n  \n \n  \n\n  \n
