PVDF poling

PVDF poling
July 26, 2016 02:18PM
I'm an undergraduate chemical engineering student and I am working on a project testing the piezoelectric properties of PVDF.
I have acquired PVDF in the form on powder and nonwoven spunbond fabric. I know that I must first "pole" it before it can yield any piezoelectric response. Can anyone offer me some help on an easy way to go about this?

Hi chemelena,

You might have found this old thread from 2013 that kicked around some (untested) ideas for created poled 3D printed structures out of PVDF:
Amazing Piezoelectric Polyvinylidene Fluoride

In more recent years it seems there has been some limited progress in making poled PVDF for use in 3D printing:
In-situ poling of PVDF for 3D printing
Electric poling-assisted additive manufacturing process for PVDF polymer-based piezoelectric device applications
