Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy Of Doped PVDF Fibers

Abstract

This work aims to further improve properties of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), one ofthe most promising electroactive polymers, by the inclusion of powders of piezoactive materials.PVDF was formed by electrospinning into fibres with a thickness of 0.5 – 1.5μm and then examinedin a scanning electron microscope including energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The obtainedproperties of doped PVDF could be used in the design of sensors. Before that, it is essentialto perform a series of analysis to support or deny the use of adjusted fibres for sensor design.
