Abstract
This research investigates optimizing the ferroelectric and piezoelectric performance of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/Glass films using spin coating by changing morphological structures. Films were prepared at 3000 and 6000 rpm using a 2wt% PVDF solution in Dimethylformamide (DMF). Attenuated Total Reflectance - Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) analysis indicated both the samples displayed characteristic absorption band corresponded to β and γ phases. Piezo Force Microscopy (PFM) was employed to study the ferroelectric and piezoelectric morphology. The 6000 rpm film exhibited more defined, self-assembled nanodots, indicating superior piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties. Poling with DC voltages up to ±10 V induced a polar gamma phase, leading to assertive ferroelectric behaviour, especially in the 6000 rpm film. The 6000 rpm film demonstrated 180° phase reversals under different poling voltage directions. The piezoelectric coefficients (d33) vary from 3 to 6.3 p.m./V in 3000 and 6000 rpm films. The 6000 rpm film shows promise for applications in ferroelectric storage devices, non-volatile memories and flexible nano generator applications.
