本文介绍了一种用于传感和驱动应用的聚合物压电制造工艺。将添加剂制造(AM)与聚合物极化工艺结合起来的电极化辅助添加剂制造(EPAM)工艺是近年来发展起来的一种新工艺。该工艺在单步直接印刷工艺中保持了压电聚合物偶极子在大面积上的良好对准和均匀。在这里，采用EPAM工艺直接打印聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)聚合物；利用基线对比测量仪器--测力计测试传感和驱动性能。此外，还对等离子体辅助极化过程进行了简要介绍和讨论，并给出了初步结果。因此，本研究以方便、快速和精确的方式将AM和压电聚合物极化方法相结合，有望在单一AM和制造步骤中实现新的多功能材料、新颖的设计和方法。
This paper represents a polymeric piezoelectric manufacturing process for sensing and actuation applications. The electric poling-assisted additive manufacturing (EPAM) process combining additive manufacturing (AM) with polymeric poling process has been recently introduced. This process keeps piezoelectric polymer dipoles well-aligned and uniform over a large area in a single-step direct printing process. Here, the EPAM process was employed to directly print polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer; sensing and actuation performance was tested with dynamometer, a baseline comparison measuring instrument. Also, the plasma-assisted poling process that potentially increases piezoelectricity was briefly introduced and discussed with a preliminary result. As a result, this study promises new multi-functional materials, novel designs, and approaches in a single AM and fabrication step by combining AM with piezoelectric polymer poling methods in convenient, fast, and precise manner.
