Cooling Rate Effects on Morphological, Optical, and Piezoelectric Properties of Melt-Recrystallized PVDF-TrFE Thin Films.

ABSTRACT: Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers have recently garnered significant attention for their applications in sensors, actuators, and energy-harvesting devices due to their strong piezoelectric properties, flexibility, chemical resistance, ease of processing, and optical transparency. Consequently, PVDF and its copolymers are increasingly utilized as optical piezoelectric elements in consumer electronics, human-machine interfaces (HMI), and wearable sensors and actuators. Among these materials, the copolymer PVDF-TrFE (polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) is particularly notable for its superior piezoelectric properties, ferroelectric stability, and thermal stability. PVDF-TrFE thin films are predominantly produced through solution casting or doctor-blading methods, follow
