Damping and electromechanical energy losses in the piezoelectric polymer PVDF

Abstract: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a piezoelectric polymer that has been used in many applications including microphones, transducers, sensors and actuators. The electromechanical properties of PVDF are commonly defined by the constitutive equations of piezoelectricity. This paper presents experimental evidence that the assumptions underlying the theory of piezoelectricity have certain limitations in terms of representing adequately the electromechanical properties of PVDF. It is shown that PVDF tends to demons… Show more

“…The PVDF hollow fiber membrane used in this study consists of hydrogen atoms (positively charged) and fluoride atoms (negatively charged) and behaves as a hydrophobic polymer [19][20] . In addition, most bacterial cell surfaces exhibit a net negative charge under common physiological conditions [21][22] .…”

“…Although some polymers can exhibit piezoelectric characteristics [61], most piezoelectric actuators are based on piezoceramics. Piezoceramic materials have been widely studied and used since the second world war to manufacture ultrasonic transducers.…”

“…[3][4][5] Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is the most popular piezoelectric polymer material. [6] The curie temperature (T c ) of PVDF is 120°C, which is below its melting point 159°C. [7] The operating temperature range of PVDF is -20 to 70°C, [6,7] which restricts the high-and low-temperature applications of PVDF.…”

[7] The operating temperature range of PVDF is -20 to 70°C, [6,7] which restricts the high-and low-temperature applications of PVDF. Although there has been a concerted effort to develop piezoelectric polymers for a wide range of operating temperatures, no effective alternative to PVDF has yet been found.…”
