极化电压对聚丙烯压电驻极体膜压电性能的影响

压电驻极体是具有压电效应的微孔结构空间电荷驻极体材料,其压电性能与材料的微结构和空间电荷密切相关.本文首先利用压缩气体膨化工艺对聚丙烯(PP)的微结构进行改性,然后利用接触极化方法,研究了极化电压与PP膜空间电荷密度之间的关系,及其对压电性能的影响.结果表明对于极化前厚度为100μm的PP膜,其内部建立有序空间电荷分布的阈值极化电压为2 kV;一旦有序空间电荷建立起来,PP膜即具有压电效应.随着极化电压的提高,PP膜的空间电荷密度逐步增大,压电效应显著增强.当峰值电压为8 kV时,PP膜电极上的电荷密度、准静态压电系数和品质因数FOMv(d33·g33)分别为0.56 mC/m2,379 pC/N和8.6(GPa)-1.PP压电驻极体膜的FOMv比聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)铁电聚合物膜高2个量级以上,且声阻抗非常低(～0.025 MRayl),因此该压电膜在超声波发射-接收系统或脉冲-回波系统中具有明显的优势.     

Physical foaming of fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP) copolymers in supercritical carbon dioxide: single-film fluoropolymer piezoelectrets

Cellular polymer foams with significant piezoelectric activity were prepared from fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP) copolymers. The required void structure is obtained by saturation of FEP films with supercritical carbon dioxide and a subsequent heat treatment for controlled inflation. After bipolar electric charging of the voids and evaporation of electrodes, the FEP films show piezoelectric d₃₃ coefficients up to 50 pC/N. The present physical foaming process generates cellular fluoropolymer piezoelectret films with usually only one single void across the film thickness.

Polytetrafluoroethylene piezoelectrets prepared by sintering process

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films with a void structure are prepared by a sintering process. Such void PTFE films are piezoelectric after proper corona charging. The quasi-static piezoelectric d ₃₃ coefficients up to 250 pC/N are achieved for the samples which were made of compact and biaxial-tension porous PTFE layers. Pre-ageing treatment is an effective method to further improve the thermal stability. For the samples with pre-ageing treatment, the reduction of the d ₃₃ coefficients is around 2% per day when exposed to 120 °C.     

Improved piezoelectric properties of cellular polypropylene ferroelectrets by chemical modification

To improve the thermal stability of piezoelectricity of polypropylene (PP) ferroelectrets, chemical modification of the cellular PP film was performed via chromic acid oxidation and then hydrofluoric acid treatment. Deep chemical modification is achieved as indicated by the energy-dispersive X-ray analyses on the cross-section of the modified cellular PP film. The results of the isothermal decay for piezoelectric d ₃₃-coefficient at 70°C indicate the improved thermal stability of piezoelectricity and the enhanced piezoelectric activity of the modified PP ferroelectrets. The former is attributed to the improvement of thermal stability of the charges trapped in the internal void surface layers as indicated by the thermally stimulated discharge measurements, while the latter results not only from the improved thermal stability of the charges but also from the reduction in Young’s modulus of the PP ferroelectrets due to the chemical modification as revealed by the dielectric resonance analyses.     

Polarization and piezoelectricity in polymer films with artificial void structure

Laminated polymer-film systems with well-defined void structures were prepared from fluoroethylenepropylene (FEP) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layers. First the PTFE films were patterned and then fusion-bonded with the FEP films. The laminates were subjected to either corona or contact charging in order to obtain the desired piezoelectricity. The build-up of the “macro-dipoles” in the laminated films was studied by recording the electric hysteresis loops. The resulting electro-mechanical properties were investigated by means of dielectric resonance spectroscopy (DRS) and direct measurements of the stress-strain relationship. Moreover, the thermal stability of the piezoelectric d ₃₃ coefficient was investigated at elevated temperatures and via thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) current measurements in short circuit. For 150 μm thick laminated films, consisting of one 25 μm thick PTFE layer, two 12.5 μm thick FEP layers, and a void of 100 μm height, the critical voltage necessary for the build-up of the “macro-dipoles” in the inner voids was approximately 1400 V, which agrees with the value calculated from the Paschen Law. A quasi-static piezoelectric d ₃₃ coefficient up to 300 pC/N was observed after corona charging. The mechanical properties of the film systems are highly anisotropic. At room temperature, the Young’s moduli of the laminated film system are around 0.37 MPa in the thickness direction and 274 MPa in the lateral direction, respectively. Using these values, the theoretical shape anisotropy ratio of the void was calculated, which agrees well with experimental observation. Compared with films that do not exhibit structural regularity, the laminates showed improved thermal stability of the d ₃₃ coefficients. The thermal stability of d ₃₃ can be further improved by pre-aging. E.g., the reduction of the d ₃₃ value in the sample pre-aged at 150°C for 5 h was less than 5% after annealing for 30 h at a temperature of 90°C.     

Piezoelectric property of hot pressed electrospun poly(γ-benzyl-α, L-glutamate) fibers

Since the 1960s, the piezoelectricity in biopolymers (e.g. proteins and polynucleotides) has attracted considerable scientific attention. In particular, poly(glutamate)s have been one of the most popular targets for this research due to their well-defined helical structure and permanent polarity along the helical axis. To date, films of poly(glutamate)s have been shown to exhibit piezoelectricity only in shear mode (d₁₄), mainly due to the limitation in fabricating electrically poled polymer samples. This paper describes a combined electrospinning and hot press method that allows production of poled poly(??-benzyl-??,L-glutamate) (PBLG) films with piezoelectricity in all d₃₃, d₃₁ and d₁₄ modes for the first time. It is found that this PBLG film belongs to the matrix structure of C_??v group, which is the same as that of poled PVDF film. The moderately high piezoelectric coefficients in both d₃₃ and d₁₄ modes as well as their thermal stability make the poled PBLG film an excellent candidate for use in flexible transducers and small energy harvesting devices.     

Determination of piezoelectric coefficients of ferroelectric thin films using GaAs:Cr adaptive interferometer

We report on simple interferometric technique for the measurement of piezoelectric coefficients of thin films using GaAs:Cr adaptive photodetectors in the geometry of modified Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The technique needs no special vibroinsulation and automatically adjusts and keeps the operation point of the interferometer. Strong hysteresis effects with a slightly asymmetric form of the hysteresis loop were observed at the dependence of d₃₃ coefficients of the Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) thin film versus DC electric field. The obtained values of d₃₃ coefficients are in agreement with known data.     

Three-layer piezoelectrets from fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP) copolymer films

A process for preparing three-layer piezoelectrets from fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP) copolymer films is introduced. Samples are made from commercial FEP films by means of laser cutting, laser bonding, electrode evaporation, and high-field poling. The observed dielectric-resonance spectra demonstrate the piezoelectricity of the FEP sandwiches. Piezoelectric d ₃₃ coefficients up to a few hundred pC/N are achieved. Charging at elevated temperatures can increase the thermal stability of the piezoelectrets. Isothermal experiments for approximately 15 min demonstrate that samples charged at 140°C keep their piezoelectric activity up to at least 120°C and retain 70% of their initial d ₃₃ even at 130°C. Acoustical measurements show a relatively flat frequency response in the range between 300 Hz and 20 kHz.
