Conventional inorganic–organic hybrid piezoelectric composites possess fundamental limitations due to poor compatibility and insufficient flexibility arising from significant differences in the physical and chemical properties of their constituent materials. These factors often result in compromised piezoelectric performance and reduced durability. To overcome these limitations, a fully polymer-based flexible piezoelectric material was fabricated by blending PVDF-TrFE, which possesses inherent piezoelectric properties, with an acrylate-based polymer.
To evaluate the applicability of the fabricated flexible piezoelectric material, the piezoelectric response was measured under pressure and bending conditions. Additionally, the linear and nonlinear relationships of the piezoelectric response with respect to changes in measurement conditions were analyzed to assess the feasibility of predicting and controlling the output voltage generated by the flexible piezoelectric device.
