Characterisation of Energy Generating PolyVinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Based Piezoelectric Filament

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) Is Not Inherently Piezoelectric however Non-Piezoelectric α-Crystal Form of the Polymer Can Be Transform to Piezoelectric β-Crystal Form by Application of High Drawing Ratio, Heat and High DC Voltage. in this Work, some Mechanical Tests, such as Linear Density, Tenacity, Elongation%, Were Carried Out to Comparatively Investigate both Poled and Unpoled PVDF Filaments which Were Produced via a Continuous Process in a Customized Melt Extruder. the Voltage Responses of Poled and Unpoled Filaments Were Also Investigated under a Standard Impact Test Ring. These Filaments Were then Studied under Semi Electron Microscopy (SEM) for their Micro Structural Analysis.
