Abstract
One-dimensional confined nanostructures with intense dipole orientation exhibit enhanced piezoelectric performance compared to traditional three-dimensional bulk films. Herein, we show that preparing highly aligned thin polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers in the presence of a small amount of organically modified clay (Cloisite 30B) platelets induces a significant crystal polymorphism alteration from non-polar α-phase to polar β-phase rather than the randomly oriented neat PVDF nanofibers with a larger average diameter. It has been detected that the nanofiber orientation considerably contributes to the enhanced degree of crystallinity and mechanical properties. Also, the PVDF-Cloisite 30B interactions caused an improvement in the elastic modulus. The piezoelectric performance of the electrospun nanofibers was examined by sensing characteristics. It was found that the synergistic effects of nanofiber orientation and clay platelets efficiently improve sensing performance via the piezoelectric dipole orientation mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
