In this paper we report on the 3D printing and testing of the piezoelectric polymer polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). Samples of PVDF were fabricated using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer and then activated using a corona…
It has been well known that flexoelectricity can be exploited to generate an analogous piezoelectric response in non-piezoelectric materials. For the direct flexoelectric effect, the induced electric polarization is linearly proportional to…

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has long been regarded as an ideal piezoelectric plastic because it exhibits a large piezoelectric response and a high thermal stability. However, the realization of piezoelectric PVDF elements has proven to…
For pyroelectric sensor application, materials having large ferroelectric polarization at low applied field and high pyroelectric sensitivity are required. PVDF is one of the ferroelectric polymers, which is being used for pyroelectric…
