Summary In the recent decade, lithium‐ion batteries have flourished in the mobile market to a greater extent. Despite its versatile commercial applications in various fields, it faces critical issues that restrict by safety concerns including leakage, combusting, or even explosions because of the low boiling point of liquid organic electrolytes. In order to mitigate these difficulties, solid electrolytes can be a potential choice. Polymer‐based solid Li‐ion batteries have been attracting researchers for accomplishing high performance. However, poor mechanical strength and low transport of Li+ ions inside the cell remain prominent challenges for its commercialization. To solve these issues and enhance the overall performance, polymer‐based nanocomposite electrolytes developed by incorporating the nanofillers into the polymer matrix have been investigated to a greater extent. This review briefly elaborates on the recent progress of polymer nanocomposite electrolytes for lithium‐ion batteries, factors affecting its performance, and various models used in the interpretation of its performance.

This study aims to investigate the effect of organically modified zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (m‐ZrO2 NPs) on the mechanical properties, morphology, and weather stability of fluoroethylene/vinyl ether copolymer (FEVE). To modify the surface of ZrO2 NPs, a 3‐(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate silane (TMSPM) organic coupling agent was utilized. The ZrO2 NPs were treated with 3 wt.% of TMSPM using a solution method with ultrasonication assistance at 50°C. Various amounts of m‐ZrO2 NPs (1, 2, and 4 wt.% of FEVE weight) were dispersed in a xylene solvent and mixed with FEVE resin. The mixture was then cured with polyisocyanate. The mechanical properties of the FEVE nanocomposite coatings, including impact resistance, adhesion, and abrasion resistance were measured. The morphology of the coatings was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To evaluate the weather stability of the coatings, an accelerated weathering test was conducted in a QUV/SPRAY chamber. This test could potentially affect the chemical structure, weight/thickness, and surface characteristics of the coatings. The carbonyl index, weight loss, and changes in mechanical properties of the coatings were monitored and discussed at different intervals during the accelerated weathering test. In addition, the morphology of the coatings after undergoing 42 cycles of accelerated weathering testing was analyzed. The results indicated that m‐ZrO2 NPs had a positive impact on the weather durability of FEVE resin, particularly in significantly enhancing the weather resistance of the FEVE‐based coatings. Therefore, these coatings exhibit potential for outdoor applications.Highlights Silane modified ZrO2 nanoparticles improve the mechanical properties of FEVE resin. The weather stability of FEVE resin increases as using modified ZrO2 nanoparticles. The suitable content of modified ZrO2 nanoparticles for FEVE resin is 2 wt.%. Mechanical properties of the nanocomposite reduce slightly after 42 cycle testing. Propose the mechanism for weather resistance of the nanocomposite coating.

“…The organic coatings based on fluoropolymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), tetrafluoroethylene/hexafluoropropylene copolymer, tetrafluoroethylene/perfluoro alkyl vinyl ether copolymer, fluoroethylene/vinyl ether copolymer (FEVE) have been used widely for outdoor applications because of their high weather resistance, good chemical resistance, high electrical insulation, good water and oil impermeability, high corrosion resistance, etc. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Among them, FEVE (commercial name of Lumiflon®) -a copolymer fluoropolymer that consisted of two monomers consisting of fluoroethylene (FE) and vinyl ether (VE) has been noted for possessing both characteristics of fluoropolymers and hydrocarbons. [7] Due to high chemical stability, the FE monomers could help polymer layer to resistant to UV rays and protect the unstable VE monomers the solubility of FEVE in the solvent, increase the gloss of paint film, and easily functionalize FEVE.…”

This paper presents the results of immersion assay on antifouling performance of a fluoropolymer nanocomposite coating on the steel substrate using natural seawater medium in laboratory. The fluoropolymer nanocomposite coating was composed in the presence of reinforcement additives, including organically modified titanium dioxide (m‐TiO2), organically modified zirconium dioxide nanoparticles (m‐ZrO2) and antifouling agent of Cu2O nanoparticles and fluoropolymer. The ratio of m‐TiO2/m‐ZrO2/Cu2O was fixed at 2/2/5 wt.% in comparison with the fluoropolymer weight. The immersion test was applied to evaluating the antifouling performance of the nanocomposite coating in the natural seawater and has been carried out in dynamic condition at the room temperature of 30 ± 0.1 oC during 60 days of testing. The change in characteristics of the nanocomposite coating was observed and recorded weekly including contact angle, color of coating and the released Cu ions content. Other characteristics such as infrared spectroscopy, surface morphology, abrasion resistance and adhesion of the nanocomposite coating were analyzed before and after testing. The obtained results showed that Cu ions could release with a low rate from the nanocomposite coating when rising immersion time and the release of Cu ions followed a linear equation. The contact angle and gloss of the coating were slightly reduced during testing period, indicating that the smoothness of the coating surface did not change significantly when immersed in natural seawater. The adhesion and abrasion resistance of the coating were almost unchanged after 60‐day testing. In summary, the nanocomposite coating has good antifouling performance when immersion under natural seawater in the laboratory, considering the above specific characteristics, including the synergistic effect of reinforcement fillers (m‐TiO2, m‐ZrO2 nanoparticles) and antifouling agent (Cu2O nanoparticles) in the polymer matrix. This in‐lab experiment in natural seawater medium has confirmed the nanocomposite coating's antifouling performance and facilitated practical deployment.
