Abstract

Artificial multiferroics magnetoelectric (ME) polymer composite films exhibiting collective ferroelectric and magnetic orderings are gaining attractive for the use of flexible ME devices. Herein an anisotropic polymer-based ME composites films is developed, composed of magnetically oriented polycrystalline iron fiber (Fef) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene) P(VDF–TrFE). The structure, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, magnetic, and ME properties was systematically investigated. Both Fef fillers content and magnetic field direction determined the ME voltage coefficient, magnetical polarization and dielectric response in anisotropic P(VDF-TrFE)–Fef composites. Specifically, the composite with 16% filler loading delivers a peak ME value of 44.5 mV·cm−1·Oe−1 with magnetic field exerted along the fiber axial alignment direction. Such extracted results may encourage a way to optimize flexible composite in anisotropic contactless sensing and detecting applications.
