Abstract
Introduction
What is piezoelectric material?
- Piezoelectric materials generate charge when squeezed or deformed and convert mechanical energy into electrical energy
- They are used in sensors, transducers, and actuators in various devices
- Examples include PVDF, PVDF-trFE, ceramics, and polymers
What is PVDF-trFE?
- Polyvinylidene Fluoride-Trifluoroethylene (20 mol% trFE)
- It exhibits enhanced piezoelectric properties compared to PVDF alone
What is d_33?
- Piezoelectric coefficient
- d_33=*Delta;Q/&Delta:F
What is PVDF-trFE Phase?
- Alpha phase is non-polar with a disordered molecular structure (as-printed material )
- Beta phase is polar, ordered, and demonstrates enhanced piezoelectric properties (poling is required)
