Variable Direct Electromechanical Properties of As-Electrospun Polystyrene Microfiber Mats with Different Electrospinning Conditions.

ABSTRACT: As-electrospun microfiber mats comprising atactic polystyrene (aPS), a low-cost commodity polymer, have demonstrated beneficial electromechanical properties. However, the variability of the electromechanical properties of fiber mats produced using different electrospinning conditions has not been investigated. Therefore, herein, the direct electromechanical properties of aPS fiber mats produced using different deposition times (t_dep) and electrospinning voltages (V_ES) are investigated. The resulting apparent piezoelectric d constant (d_app) of the fiber mats demonstrates a specific peak value for t_dep as high as ~1600 pC N^-1 under 1-kPa pressure application after ~0.2-kPa pre-pressure application, alth
