ABSTRACTMultiferroics and magnetoelectric materials show interesting scientific challenges and technnologial applications in sensors, acuators and data storage. In view of the fact that only a small number of materials show this kind of properties, exhaustive research activity is being pursued towards the development of new composite materials. Multiferroic nanocomposites films composed of piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and magnetostrictive nanosize CoFe2O4, NiFe2O4 or NiZnFe2O4 ferrites were prepared by a solution method. Those ferrite nanoparticles have the ability to nucleate the electroactive β-phase of the polymer, providing in this way an easy route for the preparation of magnetoelectric particulate composites. The fact that the different nanoparticles promotes different amount of β-phase nucleation for different concentrations of nanoparticles indicates that filler size is not the most important parameter determining phase nucleation but the filler-matrix surface interaction. Further, when the polymer-ferrite surface interaction is modified through surfactation, the electroactive phase is not nucleated.

Energy harvesting using piezoelectric materials finds attention of researchers due to miniaturisation. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is one such polymeric material with high piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties and hence is used for sensors, actuators, energy harvesting and biomedical devices. This study reports electrospinning of PVDF/Ag nanoparticles (AgNP) nanofibre mats for energy harvesting. Nanofibre mats were prepared by adopting voltage (20 kV), flow rate (1.5 mL/hour) and tip to collector distance (19 cm). The fibre mats were characterised using Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). FTIR and XRD results showed 11.84% and 36.36% increase in β-phase and crystallinity, respectively, due to the addition of 1.5 wt. % AgNP to PVDF. SEM micrographs showed decrease in bead formation and increase in fibre diameter from 40 nm to 355 nm due to the addition of AgNP. Sensitivity and voltage output were studied. The fibre mats were used for development of a miniature burglar alarm system, and its response to the applied pressure was tested.
