Abstract:

In order to improve the piezoelectric properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber membrane, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced in PVDF nanofiber membrane to fabricate CNTs/PVDF nanofiber membrane by electrospinning, and a simple flexible piezoelectric sensor with a sandwich structure was assembled. The effect of the mass fraction of CNTs on the piezoelectric properties of CNTs/PVDF nanofiber membrane was investigated. The morphology, structure, mechanical properties and piezoelectric properties of the nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, universal testing machine and digital oscilloscope. The results show that CNTs/PVDF nanofiber membrane has good mechanical properties, and the addition of CNTs into the fiber supports the formation of β crystal type in the crystal structure. When the mass fraction of CNTs is 5%, the content of β crystal type is the highest in the crystal structure of CNTs/PVDF nanofiber, and the piezoelectric performance is the strongest. Under such conditions, the output voltage of the flexible sensor reached the maximum value of 7.5 V.

Key words: polyvinylidene fluoride, carbon nanotubes, flexible sensor, piezoelectric sensor, piezoelectric property, electrospinning, nanofiber membrane
