Abstract
The limited high-temperature resistance of conventional piezoelectric polymers remains an extremely arduous obstacle to fabricate a flexible sensor that meets the practical application in extreme environments. In this paper, the fluorine-containing polyimide (FPI) nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning and further encapsulated with FPI resin into a flexible and wearable piezoelectric sensor. The influence of fluorine-containing monomer content on the mechanical properties, heat resistance, and piezoelectric properties of FPI nanofiber composite membranes was systematically investigated. The fabricated samples show outstanding thermal stability with Tg of 247℃-262℃ and Td5% of 570℃. The composite also displays a low dielectric constant (2.25–3.5) and dielectric loss (0.004–0.01), respectively. It is particularly noteworthy that the prepared fluorine-containing PI nanofiber membrane exhibits excellent piezoelectric properties. The output voltage of CPI-100 can reach up to 7 V with fast response / recovery time (16 ms / 7 ms) and exceptional durability (10,000 cycles). Moreover, the prepared CPI nanofiber composite membrane sensor can effectively detect bending and pressuresignals, which can be applied to motion and pressure monitoring. We found a new kind of substrate with outstanding piezoelectric and provided a novel strategy for developing high-temperature resistant flexible self-powered piezoelectric sensors in wearable electronics.
