Abstract EN
The incorporation of organically modified Lucentite nanoclay dramatically modifies the structure and morphology of the PVDF electrospun fibers.
In a molecular level, the nanoclay preferentially stabilizes the all-trans conformation of the polymer chain, promoting an α to β transformation of the crystalline phase.
The piezoelectric properties of the β-phase carry great promise for energy harvest applications.
At a larger scale, the nanoclay facilitates the formation of highly uniform, bead-free fibers.
Such an effect can be attributed to the enhanced conductivity and viscoelasticity of the PVDF-clay suspension.
The homogenous distribution of the directionally aligned nanoclays imparts advanced mechanical properties to the nanofibers.
