Nanofiber Web of PVDF with CaCl2 and Carbon Nanotube

Nanofiber Web of PVDF with CaCl2 and Carbon Nanotube [20] 

In the present study, PVDF electrospun nanofibers with a much lower CaCl2 content (0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 wt%) than that used in PVDF cast films were analyzed. Because of the vast potential for carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in sensor applications due to their exemplary mechanical and electrical characteristics, the effect of multi-walled 

The above FTIRandSEM studies gave us some indication about the crystallization of PVDF in the fi-phase with the addition of CaClj and MWCNT, and in the following section we will focus more on the suitability of using the PVDF-CaCl2 and PVDF-MWCNT as a touch sensor in smart textiles. 

In this study, the nanofibers of copolymer P(VDF-TrFE) with different VDF contents were prepared by electrospinning. Based on previous work, acetone and DM F were chosen as co-solvent to prepare the solution, and the concentration was 12wt%. All the nanofibers were produced under the high voltage of 12 kV and appropriate solution feeding rate of 1.6 mb h.  

As discussed above, the differences of morphology between the PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) fibrous webs should be attributed to their different microstructures.
