1. Introduction
The use of ceramic nanoparticles in various organic polymers may
provide performance and
multifunctional materials with applications in many
technological fields such as actuators, sensors,
solar cells, optoelectronic devices, etc.
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a fluorinated polymer with
excellent mechanical and electric
properties, which it was chosen as matrix due to their
applications in a wide range of industrial fields.
Research in the field of material science and engineering has
been devoted to the development of
innovative materials known as ceramic-polymer composites [2, 3,
8, 9, 13, 15, 16, 19-23, 25, 38]
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is one of the semicrystalline
polymers with at least five
crystalline phases, its can form a different crystal depending
on the condition of the crystallization.
The different crystal structures are nonpolar α-phase, polar β
-, γ -, δ- phase and ε – phase [4, 9, 12,
14-16, 18, 21, 25, 27-30, 35, 37, 39 ]. The β - phase crystal
has all trans conformation that results in
the most polar phase among other crystals, being used
extensively in piezoelectric, pyroelectric and
ferroelectric applications, because its piezoelectric activity
is based on the dipole orientation within
the crystalline phase.
A variety of experimental techniques have been developed to
induce β-phase formation in PVDF.
For example, Matsushige and Takemura showed that crystallization
from the melt at pressures which
exceed 350 MPa led to the formation of the β-form of PVDF.
Uniaxial or biaxial drawing of PVDF

films has also been shown to induce an α-β transition. In
addition, a number of reports also indicate
that nanoclays, carbon nanotubes, graphene oxides and metal
oxides can induce the β-crystal
formation in PVDF nanocomposites prepared via melt processing or
solution processing. Besides,
electrospinning also produces pre-dominantly the β-phase.
Ceramic-polymer composites are studied regarding possible
preparation procedures, their
ferroelectric properties and their tensile behavior.
Furthermore, different arrangements of functional
ingredients are investigated such as 1-3, 2-2 and 0-3 composites
[1-6, 11, 18-21, 26, 29, 31- 34, 38,
40].
Especially composites with ceramic fillers randomly dispersed in
a polymer matrix are broadly
studied because of good preparation opportunities in order to
vary the filler content, the filler and the
matrix materials. Such composites are called 0-3 composites
according to Newnham’s connectivity
notation. Then, the PZT ceramic particles with excellent
piezoelectric properties were evenly
dispersed in a three-dimensional connected flexible polymer
matrix. This type of composite has
excellent comprehensive properties
The influence of preparation processes on the structure and
electrical properties of piezoelectric lead
zirconate titanate/poly(vinylidene fluoride) composites was
investigated. Electrospinning method can
enhance obviously the ferroelectric, dielectric and
piezoelectric properties of PZT/PVDF composites
by reducing the void in piezoelectric composites and decreasing
the interface defect between ceramic
phase and polymer phase [4, 5, 8, 10, 36, 40].
2. Experimental section
2.1 Materials
The PVDF used was Aldrich chemistry (France), average
Mw~534,000. The solvents used were N,N-
dimethylformamide (DMF, Merck 99.5%) and acetone (Merck, 99.7%).
The PZT ceramic (d33 = 317
pC/N, ɛr = 1800), which was prepared via the conventional
solid-state reaction method, PZT powers
are prepared with a mortar and pestle, the mean particle size of
the PZT powders is about 200 – 500
nm (Figure 1).

after grinding
2.2 Devices
The crystalline structure analysis was performed at room
temperature using an X-ray diffraction
system (XRD, Bruker D8 Advance, Germany) with Cu Kα radiation
(λ= 0.154 nm) and Fourier
transform infrared (FTIR, Prestige 21 Shimadzu, Japan,
Department of Chemical, Hue University of
Education) spectroscopy, respectively. The surface morphology
was examined using a scanning
-
electron microscopy (SEM, Nova NanoSEM 450-FEI) operated at an
accelerating voltage of 10–20
kV), the Raman spectra was recorded by a Micro Raman
Spectrophotometer (JASCO Raman NRS-
3000) using 633 nm excited laser at room temperature. The
polarization-electric field (P−E) hysteresis
loops were measured with a HIOKI 3532 (Radiant Technologies)
which testing unit connected with
a high-voltage interface. The electrospinning apparatus was
assembled by Hue University of Science
(Vietnam); it consisted of a high-voltage power supply, an
automated syringe pump (KDS101, KD
Scientific, USA) with speed from 1mL/h to 999 mL/h and a 10-mL
syringe with a 25-gauge diameter
of needle (~0.5 mm); The high electric potential (EG = 0 ÷ 30
kV) and the stretching force (FG) applied
during electrospinning, a steel rotating (E-HUSC-01, Hue
University of Science, Vietnam) with 1500
rpm mandrel was used as the collector
2.3. Process
Preparation of the PVDF sol solution: The PVDF precursor
solutions 16 wt% were prepared by
dissolving the PVDF powder in 3:1 DMF/acetone solution. The
solution was heated at 65oC in silicon
oil bath for 30 min to completely dissolve the polymer.

Fabrication of the PZT/PVDF composite films by electrospinning:
The PZT, which was added to
the PVDF solutions at concentration of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25wt%,
respectively (Table 1).
Solubilization was carried out at 65℃ under ultrasound for 1
hour.
The solution flow rate was precisely maintained at 1.5 mL/h
using the syringe pump. A 12-cm
distance and an applied voltage of 14 kV were maintained between
the needle and the collector [19].
The PZT/PVDF thin films were deposited by spin coating the
solution after 4 h on the silver
substrates at room temperature. The wet films were annealed at
135 °C for different durations in an
oven.
Besides on, these composite films was found that the number of
particles increases with the
increase in the PZT volume fraction. There is a non-uniformity
observed in particle size of the
samples due to the presence of different particle sizes of PZT.
The SEM micrographs also reveals
that there is an increase in the reinforcement of PZT particles
in the PVDF matrix which indicates
that there is a change in volume fraction, Fig 2 [18].

3. Results and discussion
3.1 Crystalline phase analysis
3.1.1 Surface morphology
Figure 2a show the SEM micrographs of bare PVDF and PVDF with
different wt% PZT. Smooth and
bead-free solid fibres were obtained for all the samples. In
order to estimate fibre size, the
nanostructural photos of the composites were analyzed using
Lince software. The fibre size located
between 0.45 µm and 1.8 µm and gathered round the top of Gauss
fitting plot.
The electrospinning parameters can be adjusted to control final
PVDF fiber characteristics. One of
the important parameters to consider is molecular weight of PZT.
Figure 2 (a-m) shows the SEM
micrographs and fiber diameter distribution of the various PVDF
fibers at different PZT contents.
During this sintering process, PZT/PVDF nanofibers become less
flexible. At a higher voltage, the
jet draws away more solution, which requires a higher flow rate
to create a stable Taylor cone. Too
low of a flow rate creates a break in the jet as more solution
collects on the tip causes excess solution
to fall to the ground.

composites with different PZT:
(a-b) 0 wt%, (c-d) 5 wt%, (e-f) 10 wt%, (g-h) 15 wt%, (i-k) 20
wt%, (l-m) 25 wt%.
Figure 2 shows, these structures were morphologically analyzed
by scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) with 900÷1800 nm diameter of PZT/PVDF, these process were
achieved by maximum PZT
the concentration (sign: F-P25), the spraying technique is not
possible with higher PZT concentrations
of 25wt% .
The effect of the PZT content on the morphology and average
diameters of the PZT/PVDF
nanofibers is shown in Fig. 2. To further understand the impact
of PZT on PVDF, it had an average
diameter of 450 nm (see in Figure 5(a-b)). However, an increase
in the PZT content resulted in the
formation of the gradual diameter of nanofibers increases. The
diameter of nanofibers was
significantly larger than mean difficult in spray coating on
thin film [11, 22]. The PZT doping will
significantly benefits the β-phase crystallization of PVDF
composites and remnant polarization,
however, if the PZT-doping concentration is too high, will
damage the film quality, increase the
thickness of film spin-coating, make the PZT/PVDF film break up
[2]. A complete film can be
achieved with 25 wt% PZT contents. On other hand, PZT can
effectively improve the piezoelectric
properties of PVDF.
3.1.2 FTIR, XRAY and RAMAN, Crystalline structure
Figure 3a shows the FTIR spectra of aligned electrospun PVDF
fibers with different PZT contents
(0–25 wt%); here the enhancement of β phase (infrared band at
478, 510, 840, 1072, 1274, and 1404
cm-1) with increasing PZT content can be observed [6].
-
The FTIR spectrums of the nanofilms (Figure 3a), the absorption
peaks at 1274, 1072 and 840 cm-
1 are typical vibration characteristics of crystalline β phase.
It is notable that doping PZT into PVDF
has a distinctive effect of both enhancing the crystalline β
phase and weakening the crystalline α
phase. This effect is closely related to the concentration of
PZT. For the spectrum of higher PZT
concentrations doped PVDF, the crystalline β phase absorption
bands at 1274, 1072 and 840 cm-1
improve compared with lower concentrations [1, 6, 9-14, 20, 22,
24-31, 37, 40].
In order to confirm the crystalline phase of the samples and the
influence of PZT ceramic particles
in the polymer matrix an X-ray diffraction analysis was carried
out in the range 10° to 70° as shown
in Fig. 3b. The PZT powder sample exhibits characteristic peaks
observed at 2θ = 21.3°, 31.1°, 38.4°,
44.5°, 50.2°, 55.3°, and 64.7° corresponding to the planes with
Miller indices of (001), (110), (111),
(200), (201), (211), (022). For PVDF films, the shoulder peak at
the 2θ value of about 17.2° corresponds
to (020) and (110) planes of crystalline α phase and peak at
20.4° indicates the PVDF β-phase [1, 5,
6, 7, 11, 12, 16, 17, 20-31, 40].
Figure 3. FTIR spectra and XRD curves of the PZT/PVDF composite
film with different wt% PZT
By comparing the PZT powder with of the PZT-PVDF composites, it
is found that there is no
additional evidence of structural change, XRD analysis is in
good agreement with FTIR analysis.
Figure 4. Raman spectrum of PVDF 16%wt with different contant of
PZT
We prepared the 0-3 composites of pure PVDF and doped them with
PZT the concentration (5-25
wt%). The PZT content was done to increase the conductivity of
the matrix as this increased
conductivity will enhance the poling of ceramic at a later
stage.
Figure 4 shows that the Raman spectra of the PZT-PVDF film are
completely dominated by the
PZT material. The peaks with wave numbers of 130, 185, 374, 545
and 573 cm-1 were assigned to the
tetragonal PZT phase. These peaks are identified as A1(1TO),
E(2TO), A1(2TO), E(3TO), and
A1(3TO) modes, respectively [6, 7, 12, 25, 26, 30, 40]. It has
also been shown that when the PZT
increases several times, it is shown that the peak intensities
are from 600 cm-1 to 1000 cm-1, most of
-
the PZT crystals have been trapped in the PVDF matrix during
crystallization. This is clearly seen
through the SEM image of the composite.
Figure 5. Tensile stress-strain properties of PZT/PVDF nanofiber
composite films prepared with
different levels of PZT content. The inset shows the results of
Young’s modulus for PZT/PVDF
nanofiber composite films.
Figure 5 shows the typical stress/strain curves of all samples.
The Young’s moduli of the
PZT/PVDF composite nanofibres were much higher than that of the
bare PVDF nanofibre, especially
for the 15 wt% samples. A slight decline in mechanical
properties for the 25 wt% sample may have
been due to its low crystallinity, as confirmed by the XRD and
Raman spectrum results.
PZT doping will significantly benefits the β-phase
crystallization of PVDF nanocomposites and
remnant polarization, however, if the PZT-doping concentration
is too high, will damage the film
quality, increase the thickness of film spin-coating, make the
film less transparent, warp the substrate,
and in the worst case, make the PZT/PVDF film peel off. This may
have been due to the addition of
PZT hindering the movement of the PVDF molecular chain, which
reduced the elasticity and the
elongation of the composite [9, 12, 17, 24, 39].
PZT can effectively improve the piezoelectric properties of
PVDF, although excessive PZT doping
will limit the flexibility of composite film as it sustains less
elongation just before failure. However,
it had been found that high doping concentrations will increased
remnant polarization because there
will be a significant increase in the dielectric constant and
thus the piezoelectric signal will increase
[12, 23].
3.2 Ferroelectric properties of the PZT/PVDF films
A series of P–E hysteresis loops for PZT/PVDF composite measured
at room temperature were
shown in Fig. 6. The results showed that the composites with PZT
volume fraction 5 to 25 wt%
exhibited non-saturated P–E hysteresis loop.

films with different concentrations
of PZT, x= 5 (b), 10 (c), 15 (d), 20 (e), 25 (f) wt%
It is also be noted that when increasing the PZT content to
beyond, values of remnant polarization
increases and coercive field decreases to a finite value as
shown in table 2. The results thus suggested
that distribution of PZT granules in PVDF matrix played a
significant role in controlling of
ferroelectric behavior. The ferroelectric properties of the
PZT/PVDF films with different
concentrations of PZT between 5 and 25 wt% were
investigated.

F-P25 25 6.2 4.8
The gradual increase of Pr is caused by the crystallinity
enhancement of polar β-phase with
increasing of doped PZT and annealed techniques. The correlation
between the amorphous phase
contents and ferroelectric properties of PZT thin films was
further discussed from the viewpoint of
local chemical structures, Fig.6 [7, 17-21, 34, 35, 40].
A remnant polarization increasing from 2,1 to 6.2 mC/m2 were
achieved by optimizing the concentration of 25 wt% of PZT, while
simultaneously reducing the coercive field at the same time.
The modification of the physical properties can be explained by
alterations in PVDF fiber due to
drawing and poling and to the presence of PZT (Table 2), [10,
36].
4. Conclusion
In this study, PZT-PVDF composites with 0–3 connectivity was
successfully fabricated from a
series of PZT volume fractions from 5 to 25 by electrospinning
method. With the increase of the PZT
content, an enhancement of the β phase was observed. The
PZT-PVDF composites open new
-
opportunities to develop a large scale manufacturing of flexible
devices, piezoelectric devices,
sensors, force transducer, and so on with technological
applications.
Experimental density values of the composites were found to be
harmonized with calculated
density values. SEM observations revealed a homogeneous mixture
of PZT-PVDF phases. The values
of stress - strain coefficient and ferroelectric character
obtained in this work revealed that it may be
more suitable for widely future applications.
