Abstract

Piezoelectric materials have been extensively studied as nanogenerators capable of converting various mechanical motions in daily life into electrical energy. However, conventional inorganic or inorganic–organic hybrid piezoelectric materials have limited flexibility and mechanical compliance for practical applications, where complex deformations such as pressing and bending occur simultaneously. In this study, to overcome these limitations, a flexible piezoelectric material was fabricated by blending PVDF-TrFE with an acrylate-based composition. The fabricated material exhibited highly reproducible piezoelectric responses under repeated loading and bending conditions. These results suggest that the all-polymer composite is a promising candidate for durable and flexible piezoelectric materials applicable to next-generation wearable and deformable electronic devices.
