Abstract:In the quest for finding sustainable energy harvesting solutions, the field of high-temperature stable flexible piezoelectric energy harvesters is emerging as an exciting area of research. In the present research, an approach has been taken to enhance the Curie temperature of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) by blending it with a high-temperature stable poly(ether imide) (PEI) polymer. A polymeric solution of PVDF in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) has been prepared at a fixed concentration of 10 wt % and mixed w… Show more
