A Review on Electrospun PVDF-Metal Nanoparticle Composites for Electronic Applications

摘要

In this review, we have discussed on the latest development in metal nanoparticle composites based on PVDF via electrospinning process for electronic applications. Human robotics, wireless-data communication, nanogenerators, wearable biocompatible/bio-inspirable sensors, motion detectors, and actuators have become a key component in self-powered IoT devices. Due to the power demand, an urge is in the industry for fabricating portable, flexible, and sustainable green micro and nano devices. PVDF and its copolymers have attracted greater attention because of their excellent piezoelectric, dielectric, magnetic, and good mechanical properties, suitable for lightweight application and due to the biocompatible nature. Piezoelectric property can be enhanced with the addition of different metal nanoparticles and can be used for various application like sensor, actuators, energy harvesters, health monitors, EMI shielding. Interesting results reported by many research groups working in this field is consolidated in this review paper.
