Core-shell piezoelectric nanofibers for multifunctional composite materials

Abstract

This paper deals with the realization of core-shell piezoelectric nanofibers for the production of a multifunctional composite material. The nanofibers are integrated in a hosting material, such as epoxy resin or PDMS (silicon rubber). The aim of this work is to realize a material that is able to recognize a mechanical impact thanks to the specific disposition of the piezoelectric nanofibers.
