In this paper, surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors containing porous graphene/PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) molecularly imprinted sensitive membrane for DMMP gas detection were investigated. A 433 MHz ST-cut quartz SAW resonator was used to convert gas concentration changes into frequency shifts by the sensors. The porous graphene/PVDF film was fabricated on the sensor’s surface by using the tape-casting method. DMMP molecules were adsorbed on the porous structure sensing film prepared by the 2-step method to achieve the specific recognition effect. The sensitivity of the sensor could reach −1.407 kHz·ppm−1. The response time and recovery time of the SAW sensor with porous graphene/PVDF sensing membrane were about 4.5 s and 5.8 s at the concentration of 10 ppm, respectively. The sensor has good anti-interference ability to most gases in the air.

AbstractThe effect of different fabrication techniques on the formation of electroactive β-phase polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been investigated. Films with varying concentration of PVDF and solvent - dimethyl formamide (DMF) were synthesized by tape casting and solvent casting techniques. The piezoelectric β-phase as well as non polar β-phase were observed for both the tape cast and solvent cast films from X-ray diffraction (XRD) micrographs and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra. A maximum percentage (80 %) of β-phase was obtained from FT-IR analysis for a solvent cast PVDF film. The surface morphology of the PVDF films was analyzed by FESEM imaging. The dielectric properties as a function of temperature and frequency and the ferroelectric hysteresis loop as a function of voltage were measured. An enhancement in the value of the dielectric constant and polarization was obtained in solvent cast films.

A surface acoustic wave (SAW), device composed of polymer and ceramic fillers, exhibiting high piezoelectricity and flexibility, has a wide range of sensing applications in the aerospace field. The demand for flexible SAW sensors has been gradually increasing due to their small size, wireless capability, low fabrication cost, and fast response time. This paper discusses the structural, thermal, and electrical properties of the developed sensor, based on different micro- and nano-fillers, such as lead zirconate titanate (PZT), calcium copper titanate (CCTO), and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), along with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a polymer matrix. The piezocomposite substrate of the SAW sensor is fabricated using a hot press, while interdigital transducers (IDTs) are deposited through 3D printing. The piezoelectric properties are also enhanced using a non-contact corona poling technique under a high electric field to align the dipoles. Results show that the developed passive strain sensor can measure mechanical strains by examining the frequency shifts of the detected wave signals.
