Correlation of Direct Piezoelectric Effect on EAPap under Ambient Factors

Direct piezoelectricity of electro-active papers （EAPap） is analysed in this paper. The test setups for direct effect are designed and determined. Different ambient factors impacting the piezoelectricity of EAPap, such as temperature, humidity, and strain rate, are applied and analyzed. Strong piezoelectricity of EAPap is found on the basis of the test results and in comparison with polyvinylidene fluoride （PVDF） and lead zirconate titanate （PZT）-5H. The maximum piezoelectric constant is achieved to be 504 pC/N. The reason of strong piezoelectricity of EAPap is discussed in this paper. The potential of EAPap as a biomimetic actuator and sensor is also investigated.

电致驱动纸机电特性及其潜在应用

文专注于电致驱动纸的机电特性进行研究。电致驱动纸结构能够在相当低的电压下以较低的功率消耗,产生比较大的弯曲位移变形。电致驱动纸是一种复杂的各项异性材料,目前还没有对其进行广泛的定量特征化分析,在电致驱动纸能够应用在驱动器结构之前还要进行基本的机电性能测试与分析。经计算电致驱动纸的杨式模量的变化范围为5～8GPa。热机械分析被用来确定由于去水化以及最大应用温度而影响尺寸变化程度的因素。通过测试样品的关键特性,提供一种测试该材质疲劳特性的一种方法。基于频率的电阻抗分析和介电特性测试也是分析者确定电致驱动纸的电特性。最后利用测试并计算样品顶部的位移大小、阻滞力以及消耗的电功率,来检验电致驱动纸的性能。
