Magnetoelectric Response

ABSTRACTThe temperature effect on the magnetoelectric response of hybrid magnetostrictive/piezoelectric laminated composites in the range from room temperature up to 85 ºC is presented. The samples analyzed consisted of alternating, stacked, layers of a magnetostrictive amorphous metal, and a piezoelectric polymer, bonded to each other with an epoxy. The maximum magnetoelectric effect was observed when the composites were driven at their electromechanical resonance. First, we present results on the fabricability of the laminated composite sensor consisting on Vitrovac 4040® (Fe39Ni39Mo4Si6B12) as the magnetostrictive amorphous component and two different piezoelectric polymers: poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and 2,6(β-CN)APB/ODPA (poli 2,6) polyimide, a new type of high temperature piezoelectric polymer. At room temperature induced magnetoelectric voltages of 79.6 and 0.35 V/cm.Oe were measured when using PVDF and poli 2,6 polyimide respectively as the piezoelectric components. When heating, we have observed that the magnetoelectric response of the PVDF-containing device quickly decayed to about 5 V/cm.Oe, while for the poli 2,6- containing one it remained almost constat. We discuss the advantage of using this new piezoelectric polymer due to its good performance at high temperatures, making these magnetoelectric laminate composites suitable for high temperature applications.

A series of three-phase composite films with different filler contents were prepared by in-situ polymerization. The composite films comprise polyimide (PI), poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), and titanium dioxide (TiO2). Compared with PI/TiO2 composite films, the PI/TiO2-PVDF composite films not only get a significant increase in dielectric constant, but also own better mechanical properties. Our results show that with the loading of 50wt% PVDF particles, the dielectric constant of PI/TiO2-PVDF composite films increased from 6.5 to 18.14 at 1 MHz and room temperature, while the tensile strength of PI/TiO2-PVDF composite films increased from 45 to 72 MPa. In addition, the films maintain a low loss tangent of about 0.02. PI/PVDF composite films were also prepared. It was found that dielectric constant of PI/PVDF composite was significantly lower than that of PI/TiO2-PVDF composite films when the loading of PVDF is 50wt%.

A new method based on a solution graft technique was used to prepare poly (vinylidene fluoride) grafted polystyrene sulfonated acid (PVDF-g-PSSA) proton exchange membrane. Polystyrene is grafted into PVDF modified by plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4). There is a linear relationship between the degree of grafting and the content of Na4SiO4. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used to characterize changes of the membrane's microstructures after grafting and sulfonation. The morphology of the membrane's microstructures after grafting and sulfonation is studied by scanning electrolytic microscope (SEM). The effect of plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4) concentration and relative humidity on the conductivity of the electrolyte was investigated by the impedance at room temperature. The results show that the styrene has been grafted into PVDF. The conductivity of PVDF-g-PSSA electrolyte doped 10% plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4) is 0.016 S/cm at room temperature. The conductivity of the electrolyte changes slightly at a relative humidity range of 20%-70%. The weightlessness of PVDF-g-PSSA electrolyte heated to 40°C was less than 2%, which indicated that water capacity was good.

High Dilutions

Until few years, the so-called implausible science, homeopathy, was on the verge of being rejected on conventional physicochemical grounds. The mere selection of ultrahigh dilutions (UHD) (homeopathic potencies) for experimentation by mainstream scientists seemed impossible, but the curiosity to explore the science behind homeopathy kept igniting intellectual alma mater who subjected homeopathy to laboratories and test tubes, to know beyond its clinical application. Still, there exist a huge gap and a challenge to convince a conventional scientist to go beyond his domains and look for something which is apparently invisible (beyond Avogadro). But gradually we are overcoming this dogma and exploring the finer aspects and applications of UHDs. Much research has been undertaken, at least, to protect the identity of UHDs, and we are now verge of proving the plausibility of homeopathy from every aspect. This issue of International Journal of High Dilution Research features two interesting articles on nature of UHDs and their unconventional application. The first article by NC Sukul et al aimed to decipher the nature of the water structure of UHDs of two commonly used homeopathic drugs Natrum muriaticum and Sulphur by Laser Raman Spectroscopy. This work is in the series undertaken by the group, who earlier experimented using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance; Electronic, Vibrational and Raman spectroscopy to shown differences in UHDs of various drugs. The present experiment could differentiate the intensities (potencies) of Nat-m and Sulph when compared to their controls, on the basis of hydrogen bond strength and free OH groups. The second article by Nandy et al proposes a new dimension to the application of UHD. In an interesting manner, the author used UHDs of Ferrum metallicum and Zincum oxidatum to improve the electrical properties of the electroactive Poly (vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP). The PVDF-HFP composite films were synthesized in their usual way, but an incorporation of Ferrum and Zinc-o could make the film as homeo-PVDF-composite. This enhancement of the electrical properties and are possibly due to the presence of nanoparticle, as hypothesized by the group. The nature and application of UHDs are promising but challenging areas, which can only be validated through extensive research and validation. The realm of UHDs is expanding, and the day is not far when plausibility of homeopathy would be proved from every aspect, but at the same time we should also keep the momentum of research at pace in clinical research too!

Poly Vinylidene Fluoride

Flexible dielectric capacitors are becoming shining stars in modern electronic devices. Ceramic particles with large dielectric constants and benign compatibility are attractive candidates to enhance the energy storage density of pristine polymer capacitors while guaranteeing their flexibility. In this work, double-shell structure of Al2O3 (AO) and dopamine (PDA) were successively coated on the Nd-doped BaTiO3 (NBT) particles and then introduced into the Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix. Obvious enhancement in dielectric constants was observed while the dielectric loss remained nearly constant. For the composite films with 1–4[Formula: see text]vol.% NBT@AO@PDA NPs, the maximum energy density of 9.1[Formula: see text]J/cm3 and energy efficiency of 65% was achieved at 430[Formula: see text]MV/m in the sample with 1[Formula: see text]vol.% filling ratio, which are 1.4 and 1.3 times larger than those of pristine PVDF at 450[Formula: see text]MV/m. The finite element simulation reveals the effective relief of the electric field concentration in the composite film induced by the AO and PDA layers. The greater improvement in the energy storage performance could be anticipated if the dispersity of NBT@AO@PDA NPs was further improved.
