研究目的
Investigating the effect of poling on the piezoelectric behavior of a 3D-printed polymer that is inherently piezoelectric in the absence of poling, and comparing the poling and piezoelectric behavior in the out-of-plane and in-plane directions of the printed polymer.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the piezoelectric coupling coefficient of a 3D-printed acrylate polymer can be significantly increased by electrical poling, with the effect being more pronounced in the in-plane direction due to its initial lower coefficient without poling. However, the rapid depoling process limits the practical application of poling, making the inherent piezoelectric behavior without poling still attractive for certain applications.
研究不足
The study is limited by the natural depoling that occurs immediately after the completion of the poling, which takes as little as 60 min. This necessitates repoling to maintain the enhanced piezoelectric behavior. Additionally, the inherent piezoelectric effect without poling, while practically attractive, has a relatively low value of the piezoelectric coupling coefficient.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the use of a 3D printed acrylate polymer without filler, printed by stereolithography, to investigate its piezoelectric behavior with and without electrical poling. The methodology includes measuring the piezoelectric coupling coefficient before and after poling in both out-of-plane and in-plane directions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The specimens are 3D printed using a general-purpose ultraviolet (UV) curable resin, with dimensions specified for out-of-plane and in-plane testing. Three specimens of each type were tested to ensure data reliability.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The printing involves conventional stereolithography with a bottom-up projection system using a Micro Printer. The permittivity is measured using an LCR meter, and the piezoelectric effect is studied using a DC power source and a precision digital multimeter.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Poling is conducted by applying a DC electric field, and the piezoelectric behavior is monitored through both direct and converse piezoelectric effects. The progress of poling and depoling is monitored by measuring the voltage across the specimen.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The piezoelectric coupling coefficient is calculated from the measured electric field output and the measured relative permittivity. The data from three specimens are averaged to obtain the results.
