▎ 摘 要
This work presents the synergistic effect of BaTiO3 and graphene (Gr) reinforcement in polyvinyl diene fluoride (PVDF) matrix by chemical-assisted mechanical blending (CAMB) for possible 4D applications. The PVDF matrix was prepared (in form of filament) by solvent casting followed by twin-screw extrusion (TSE) as CAMB process. The filament was used on fused deposition modelling (FDM) setup for preparing standard flexural and pull-out specimens. The mechanical testing revealed that the parts printed with 100% in-fill density (ID), 70 mm/s infill speed (IS), and 45 degrees in-fill angle (IA) has shown better flexural strength (FS). For pull-out properties, part printed at IS 90 mm/s, 0 degrees IA, and 100% ID have shown better results. Further optimized settings of FS were used to 3D print thin cylindrical discs followed by electric poling (for possible piezoelectric properties). The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis show more beta-phase formation in the electrically poled sample as compared to non-poled specimen. Moreover, XRD spectra show the homogenous dispersion of doped material in the PVDF matrix. The piezoelectric coefficient (d(33)) 30.2pC/N was observed on 3D printed specimen (prepared from filament processed with CAMB), suitable for 4D applications.
