Characterisation of Energy Generating PolyVinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Based Piezoelectric Filament

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Is Not Inherently Piezoelectric however Non-Piezoelectric α-Crystal Form of the Polymer Can Be Transform to Piezoelectric β-Crystal Form by Application of High Drawing Ratio, Heat and High DC Voltage. in this Work, some Mechanical Tests, such as Linear Density, Tenacity, Elongation%, Were Carried Out to Comparatively Investigate both Poled and Unpoled PVDF Filaments which Were Produced via a Continuous Process in a Customized Melt Extruder. the Voltage Responses of Poled and Unpoled Filaments Were Also Investigated under a Standard Impact Test Ring. These Filaments Were then Studied under Semi Electron Microscopy (SEM) for their Micro Structural Analysis.
