“…The vast majority of studies with nanoparticles were carried out to increase the hydrophobicity of PDMS [ 97 , 99 , 101 , 129 , 133 ], transforming the surfaces of coatings and sponges into super-hydrophobic surfaces, i.e., the angle of contact with water is greater than 150°. These are used for different applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, low infrared emissivity, and the adsorption (separation) of oil in water.…”

“…The drag force reduction rate decreased by 24%, and the coating showed greater durability in acidic and alkaline solutions [ 98 ]. TiO 2 additives are also applied to create electroactive material based on PDMS; this material shows reduced drive voltage and response speed in comparison with a traditional silicone-poly(hexylthiophene) electroactive polymer [ 99 ].…”

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is one of the most promising elastomers due its remarkable proprieties such as good thermal stability, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, flexibility, low cost, ease of use, chemically inertia, hyperplastic characteristics, and gas permeability. Thus, it can be used in areas such as microfluidic systems, biomedical devices, electronic components, membranes for filtering and pervaporation, sensors, and coatings. Although pure PDMS has low mechanical properties, such as low modulus of elasticity and strength, it can be improved by mixing the PDMS with other polymers and by adding particles or reinforcements. Fiber-reinforced PDMS has proved to be a good alternative to manufacturing flexible displays, batteries, wearable devices, tactile sensors, and energy harvesting systems. PDMS and particulates are often used in the separation of liquids from wastewater by means of porosity followed by hydrophobicity. Waxes such as beeswax and paraffin have proved to be materials capable of improving properties such as the hydrophobic, corrosion-resistant, thermal, and optical properties of PDMS. Finally, when blended with polymers such as poly (vinyl chloride-co-vinyl acetate), PDMS becomes a highly efficient alternative for membrane separation applications. However, to the best of our knowledge there are few works dedicated to the review and comparison of different PDMS composites. Hence, this review will be focused on PDMS composites, their respective applications, and properties. Generally, the combination of elastomer with fibers, particles, waxes, polymers, and others it will be discussed, with the aim of producing a review that demonstrates the wide applications of this material and how tailored characteristics can be reached for custom applications.

“…An upgraded electromechanical implementation of TiO 2 nanomolecule-altered PDMS as electroactive polymers is introduced in Ouyang et al 59 A multifunctional stage dependent on electroactive polymers and silica nanoparticles for tissue building applications is presented in Ribeiro et al 60 The effective dielectric thickness was reduced with the addition of an electroactive polymer. Based on the findings that the outputs do not increase proportionally, the changed material and secondary nanostructure on the surface tend to have a higher impact on efficiency than the increase in thickness.…”

Smart materials have an important role in modern applications. They have contributed to improving various applications in several fields. One of the areas most affected by the improvement of smart materials is nanostructures. These materials are created by basic techniques, such as arrangement manipulation. Significant efforts have been made to enhance smart materials so that they resemble natural materials in terms of accuracy, design, and utility. Here, a review of the latest research on smart materials that can alter the electrical properties of nanostructures is presented. The main objective of this review is to introduce the role of smart materials in controlling the electrical performance of nanostructures. Furthermore, this review proposes an analysis of the integration and cooperation of previous research, such as the use of a piezoelectric motor in the design of structural magnetic nanodevices to control these devices. Piezoelectric actuators can also be used to develop a new method for controlling PV modulators for fabricating a single-wall nanotube. This new proposal could alter the properties of many nanoscale systems serving several medical and engineering fields. Moreover, this review proposes a novel methodology for nanocoating by introducing an antireflective coating with multiple layers. This method can effectively enhance the functions of the nanoscale coating.

In the given paper were investigated structure and electrophysical properties of PVDF+PbS/CdS nanocomposites. Distribution and the size of PbS and CdS nanoparticles in the polymer matrix has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (JEOL JSM-7600 F). The structure of the nanocomposite samples was investigated by the X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. The dependence of dielectric permittivity at frequency and temperature was investigated. It was shown that the dielectric permittivity of PVDF+PbS/CdS nanocomposite samples was increase in small nanoparticles content. Further increase in the concentration of the filler leads to decrease in the dielectric permittivity. The subsequent decrease in dielectric permittivity at higher nanoparticles content can be explained by the increase in defects in the structure of the nanocomposite.
