摘要
In the study, we improved the near-field electrospinning (NFES) by multi-spinnerets with a cylindrical collector to fabricate a large area permanent piezoelectric of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers array. We designed multi-spinnerets by using printed circuit board (PCB) and drilled spinnerets on the solder balls. With different process parameters, we can obtain different diameters of PVDF fibers. By using the Taguchi method analysis, we found that the optimum sample of PVDF fiber arrays were manufactured by an electrical field of 1.6 x 10(7) V/m. The cylindrical collector with high tangential velocity of 1779.9 mm/s and the heat treatment temperature of 65 degrees C for one hour. In addition, we used X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze beta-phase crystal quality and the surface character of PVDF fibers, respectively. From the observation of XRD, it revealed a high diffraction peak at 2 theta = 20.6 degrees of piezoelectric crystal beta-phase structure. As PVDF solution with concentration of 18 wt % and the conductivity of 44.2 mu S/cm was electrospun via NFES with multi-spinneret structure, we obtained a smooth manufacturing process. When the periodical tapping frequency was applied with 9 Hz, the maximum peak voltage of 86.9 mV was generated. In a cicada's wing test, when the tapping frequency input was applied during 10-50 Hz, the maximum output voltage signals of 6.2 mV were generated.
