Abstract
The application of piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has become of a great interest. Due to its piezoelectric properties, PVDF is used in various applications, namely, microdevices and sensors. Electrospinning was found to be the most suitable and efficient method to synthesis PVDF nanofibers. It is used to obtain PVDF nanofibers without additional mechanical stretching and with high β phase content. For these reasons, it is considered to be an economic technique. In the present paper, the parameters affecting the synthesis of PVDF nanofibers such as solution concentration, flow rate, voltage and Tip to Collector Distance (TCD), have been investigated. The optimum conditions were found to be 18% concentration, 15 cm TCD, 1 mL/h flowrate and 19 kV voltages. The fabricated nanofiber has been characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD and a conductivity test.
