Enhancement of PVDF Electroactive Phase Content—Effect of Plasticizer as an Additive

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Preparation of spin‐coated PVDF composite films and the resulting crystalline phase transition (α → γ/β) triggered by cyclic‐ester EC interactions. ABSTRACT Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a functional polymer with highly desirable electrical and piezoelectric properties.

Direct evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) random copolymers

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
Direct experimental evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity is obtained for a quenched‐stretched‐annealed‐poled P(VDF‐TrFE) 52/48 mol.% random copolymer using time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray scattering and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Upon stretching up to 6% strain, the crystallinity (xc) increases 10% at the expense of the contents ...

Stress‐guided photo‐programming of cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers for 2D‐to‐3D shape–color information encoding

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
We reported a stress‐guided photo‐programming strategy that enables cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs) to achieve synchronous 3D shape morphing and structural color evolution from a single 2D film. Abstract Flexible materials with dynamic structural colors have attracted considerable interest for multilevel information interaction, showing ...

Suspendable and Scalable Ultrasound‐Actuated ZnO‐Nanosheet‐Based Piezoelectric Microdevices for Wireless Electrical Stimulation of Cells

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Silicon microtechnology enables the scalable fabrication of cytocompatible microdevices for wireless electrical stimulation. Microdevices smaller than a cell allow accurate interaction with single cells. By integrating piezoelectric nanostructures that can be actuated by ultrasound within the biomedical range, remote electrical cell stimulation is ...
