Electrospinning induced ferroelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride) fibers

Research output: Journal article publicationJournal articleAcademic researchpeer-review

Abstract

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) fibers with diameters ranging from 70 to 400 nm are produced by electrospinning and the effect of fiber size on the ferroelectric β-crystalline phase is determined. Domain switching and associated ferro-/piezo-electric properties of the electrospun PVDF fibers were also determined. The fibers showed well-defined ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties.
