Abstract
The poly (vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene–chlorofluoroethylene) P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer has been identified as a promising candidate for the effective conversion of low-frequency mechanical vibrations into electricity. In this study, we provide a comprehensive and systematic investigation of the solvent-dependent mechanical, microstructural, electrical, frictional properties and triboelectric [...] Read more.
The poly (vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene–chlorofluoroethylene) P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer has been identified as a promising candidate for the effective conversion of low-frequency mechanical vibrations into electricity. In this study, we provide a comprehensive and systematic investigation of the solvent-dependent mechanical, microstructural, electrical, frictional properties and triboelectric output performance of a relaxor ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer. The P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer films obtained from high dipole moment solvents have a longer rod-shaped grain than those from low dipole moment solvents. The crystallinity, Young’s modulus and dielectric constant of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer become larger as the dipole moment of solvents increases, while the remnant polarization remains almost the same. The P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer film obtained from the highest dipole moment solvent generates almost 1.55 times larger triboelectric charge than that obtained from the lowest moment. We attributed this large difference to the greatly enhanced lateral friction of terpolymer film obtained from high dipole moment solvents. Full article

Coaxial core/shell electrospun nanofibers consisting of ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE) and relaxor ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) are tailor-made with hierarchical structures to modulate their mechanical properties with respect to their constituents. Compared with two single and the other coaxial membranes prepared in the research, the core/shell-TrFE/CTFE membrane shows a more prominent mechanical anisotropy between revolving direction (RD) and cross direction (CD) associated with improved resistance to tensile stress for the crystallite phase stability and good strength-ductility balance. This is due to the better degree of core/shell-TrFE-CTFE nanofiber alignment and the crystalline/amorphous ratio. The coupling between terpolymer P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) and copolymer P(VDF-TrFE) is responsible for phase stabilization, comparing the core/shell-TrFE/CTFE with the pristine terpolymer. Moreover, an impressive collective deformation mechanism of a two-length scale in the core/shell composite structure is found. We apply in-situ synchrotron X-ray to resolve the two-length scale simultaneously by using the small-angle X-ray scattering to characterize the nanofibers and the wide-angle X-ray diffraction to identify the phase transformations. Our findings may serve as guidelines for the fabrication of the electrospun nanofibers used as membranes-based electroactive polymers. Full article

The coaxial core/shell composite electrospun nanofibers consisting of relaxor ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) and ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE) polymers are successfully tailored towards superior structural, mechanical, and electrical properties over the individual polymers. The core/shell-TrFE/CTFE membrane discloses a more prominent mechanical anisotropy between the revolving direction (RD) and cross direction (CD) associated with a higher tensile modulus of 26.9 MPa and good strength-ductility balance, beneficial from a better degree of nanofiber alignment, the increased density, and C-F bonding. The interfacial coupling between the terpolymer P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) and copolymer P(VDF-TrFE) is responsible for comparable full-frequency dielectric responses between the core/shell-TrFE/CTFE and pristine terpolymer. Moreover, an impressive piezoelectric coefficient up to 50.5 pm/V is achieved in the core/shell-TrFE/CTFE composite structure. Our findings corroborate the promising approach of coaxial electrospinning in efficiently tuning mechanical and electrical performances of the electrospun core/shell composite nanofiber membranes-based electroactive polymers (EAPs) actuators as artificial muscle implants.

Abstract
The temperature dependence of the dielectric permittivity and polarization hysteresis loops of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) polymer films with different compositions are studied. Among them, the three compositions, 51.3/48.7/6.2, 59.8/40.2/7.3, and 70/30/8.1, are characterized for the first time. Relaxor behavior is confirmed for all studied samples. [...] Read more.
The temperature dependence of the dielectric permittivity and polarization hysteresis loops of P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) polymer films with different compositions are studied. Among them, the three compositions, 51.3/48.7/6.2, 59.8/40.2/7.3, and 70/30/8.1, are characterized for the first time. Relaxor behavior is confirmed for all studied samples. Increasing the CFE content results in lowering the freezing temperature and stabilizes the ergodic relaxor state. The observed double hysteresis loops are related to the field-induced transition to a ferroelectric state. The critical field corresponding to this transition varies with the composition and temperature; it becomes larger for temperatures far from the freezing temperature. The energy storage performance is evaluated from the analysis of unipolar polarization hysteresis loops. P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) 59.8/40.2/7.3 shows the largest energy density of about 5 J·cm−3 (at the field of 200 MV·m−1) and a charge–discharge efficiency of 63%, which iscomparable with the best literature data for the neat terpolymers.
