Abstract
Electroactive polymer materials are widely applied in wearable electronic devices and artificial muscles because of their spontaneous polarization under the electric field. PVDF and its copolymers are the most common ferroelectric polymers, but it is difficult to produce large deformation under low electric field due to its poor flexibility and relatively low permittivity. In this paper, P(VDF-HFP) was reacted with polyether amine to prepare ferroelectric elastomer with low crosslinking density. As a plasticizer and crosslinker, polyether amine significantly reduced the Young’s modulus and the crystallinity of the P(VDF-HFP) films. The bending displacement of the films could reach 1.78 mm under the voltage of 2000 V, which was 16 times that of the P(VDF-HFP) film. In addition, due to the significant diversity in permittivity between the two layers of the films, there was a significant interface polarization in the bilayer films. The PEDOT:PSS/P(VDF-HFP) films further improved the bending electromechanical properties of the crosslinked membrane, and bending displacement of the bilayer films enormously increased to 8.095 mm under the voltage of 2000 V.
期刊介绍:
The journal provides an international medium for the publication of theoretical and experimental studies and reviews related to the electronic, electrochemical, ionic, magnetic, optical, and biosensing properties of solid state materials in bulk, thin film and particulate forms. Papers dealing with synthesis, processing, characterization, structure, physical properties and computational aspects of nano-crystalline, crystalline, amorphous and glassy forms of ceramics, semiconductors, layered insertion compounds, low-dimensional compounds and systems, fast-ion conductors, polymers and dielectrics are viewed as suitable for publication. Articles focused on nano-structured aspects of these advanced solid-state materials will also be considered suitable.
