Enhance piezoelectric property of PVDF using ZnO nanorods

What is it about?

We have enhanced the piezoelectric property of PVDF using ZnO nanorods. We prepared the samples by using simple drop casting technique without any electrical poling, mechanical stretching or any complex film preparation technique. We have given the detailed analysis of the different phases present in PVDF by deconvoluting XRD and FTIR spectra. The applicability of the device has also been shown using different load resistances.

Why is it important?

We have prepared the films using simple drop casting technique just by adding ZnO nanorods. And we have given detailed analysis how the piezoelectric property of the film has been enhanced.
