Fabrication of Nano-branched Coaxial Polyaniline / Polyvinylidene Fluoride Fibers via Electrospinning for Strain Sensor

Article Preview

Abstract:

Soft conductive elastomer materials have wide potential applications in material science and electronic engineering. Through electrospinning and in-situ polymerization, a kind of well-organized coaxial polyaniline/polyvinylidence fluoride (PANI/PVDF) microfibers with conductivity about 0.6 S/cm were fabricated, which combined the advantages of conducting polymer and elastic material. It is found that the resistance of the fibers was changed with the curvature variation. The results indicate that the PANI/PVDF microfibers could be used as strain sensor with high flexibility, high sensitivity, and stable repeatability.
