Studying Physical Properties of a Polyvinylidene Fluoride/Lead Zirconate Titanate Piezoelectric Composite
摘要
Abstract
The authors studied the effect of the percent fraction of microscopic lead zirconate titanate particles in a polyvinylidene fluoride-based composite material on its mechanical, piezoelectric, and structural properties. We found that an additional 10% of lead zirconate titanate particles enhances the piezoelectric response by increasing the degree of polymer crystallinity for this concentration while the ultimate stress values of the material remain in the range used for obtaining mechanical impact sensors.
