Piezoelectric voltage generation in porous barium titanate-poly(vinylidene fluoride) (BT-PVDF) particle-matrix composite films is investigated as a function of PVDF pore structure and porosity. BT-PVDF composite films fabricatedviacoagulation bath method attain distinct pore structures depending on the ethanol content of the bath. With increasing bath ethanol content, film morphology shifts from higher porosity finger-like cavities to lower porosity mesh-like structures. Finger-like films have a lower Young’s modulus than mesh-like films (224 MPavs.368 MPa), but produce higher piezoelectric output voltage when compressed compared to mesh-like films (400 mVvs.57 mV under 3 N compression). The difference in piezoelectric response is attributed to differences in stress transfer between polymer matrix and ceramic particles. Finite element simulations reveal that finger-like structures produce well-ordered compressive stress while mesh-like structures produce poor stress alignment. The results indicate that improved stress transfer between polymer matrix and ceramic particles can be achieved with well-aligned pore structures, leading to higher piezoelectric output.
