3D Printing of Polyvinylidene Fluoride Based Piezoelectric Nanocomposites: An Overview

Recently, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based nanocomposites have attracted much attention for next-generation wearable applications such as promising piezoelectric energy harvesters (nanogenerators), energy storage devices, sensing devices, and biomedical devices due to their high flexibility, and high dielectric and piezoelectric properties. 3D printing technology, PVDF based piezoelectric nanocomposites, the studies based on 3D printing of PVDF based piezoelectric nanocomposites by inkjet printing and fused deposition modeling, and enhancements of energy harvesting and storage performance of nanocomposites by structural design are comprehensively overviewed here. An insight is provided into 3D printing techniques, structure and properties of PVDF based polymers, various nanofillers and production methods for nanocomposites, solutions to enhance β phase (crystallinity) of PVDF, and improvements of nanocomposites’ breakdown strength, discharged energy density, and piezoelectric power output by mentoring structural design.     

Synergistic Effect of PVDF-Coated PCL-TCP Scaffolds and Pulsed Electromagnetic Field on Osteogenesis

Bone exhibits piezoelectric properties. Thus, electrical stimulations such as pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) and stimuli-responsive piezoelectric properties of scaffolds have been investigated separately to evaluate their efficacy in supporting osteogenesis. However, current understanding of cells responding under the combined influence of PEMF and piezoelectric properties in scaffolds is still lacking. Therefore, in this study, we fabricated piezoelectric scaffolds by functionalization of polycaprolactone-tricalcium phosphate (PCL-TCP) films with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) coating that is self-polarized by a modified breath-figure technique. The osteoinductive properties of these PVDF-coated PCL-TCP films on MC3T3-E1 cells were studied under the stimulation of PEMF. Piezoelectric and ferroelectric characterization demonstrated that scaffolds with piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = −1.2 pC/N were obtained at a powder dissolution temperature of 100 °C and coating relative humidity (RH) of 56%. DNA quantification showed that cell proliferation was significantly enhanced by PEMF as low as 0.6 mT and 50 Hz. Hydroxyapatite staining showed that cell mineralization was significantly enhanced by incorporation of PVDF coating. Gene expression study showed that the combination of PEMF and PVDF coating promoted late osteogenic gene expression marker most significantly. Collectively, our results suggest that the synergistic effects of PEMF and piezoelectric scaffolds on osteogenesis provide a promising alternative strategy for electrically augmented osteoinduction. The piezoelectric response of PVDF by PEMF, which could provide mechanical strain, is particularly interesting as it could deliver local mechanical stimulation to osteogenic cells using PEMF.

Effects of CeO2 doping on the structure and properties of PSN-PZN-PMS-PZT piezoelectric ceramics

Quinary system piezoelectric ceramics PSN-PZN-PMS-PZT were prepared by using a two-step method. The effects of CeO2 doping on piezoelectric and dielectric properties of the system were investigated at morphotropic phase boundary （MPB）. The results reveal that the relative dielectric constant ε33^T｜ε0, the Curie temperature To, the piezoelectric constant d33, the mechanical quality factor Qm, and the electromechanical coupling coefficient Kp are changed with the increase of CeO2 content. On the other hand, the effects of CeO2 doping on the dielectric properties of PSN-PZN-PMS-PZT piezoelectric ceramics at high electric field are consistent with the change at weak electric field. The values of dielectric constant and dielectric loss are enhanced with the increasing of electric field.

冷轧处理线卷取机带头定位精度的改进

针对采用带头与卷取机芯轴橡胶套筒定位区动态接触的传统自动定位技术控制效果不好而带来带头印缺陷的问题，对其产生原因进行了分析，这是因为不同规格、钢种带钢的工艺参数不同，带钢穿带过程中在传送辊上的打滑量不同，在传输通道上的下垂量不同，带头到达卷取机芯轴定位区时计算带头位置与实际带头位置存在不稳定的偏差，因此带头定位精度不稳定。为此，开发了双动态自动定位技术，穿带过程中预留了足够的带钢打滑及下垂富余量，且带头与定位区中心线在助卷皮带咬入口静止状态下接触，消除了影响带头定位精度的主要因素，带头定位精度能稳定在±15 mm的误差范围内。实际应用效果表明，该方法可行、实用。
