Poling-free spinning process of manufacturing piezoelectric yarns for textile applications

This report describes a new twist-spinning process for the manufacture of piezoelectric yarn without the need for additional poling processes. Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (PVDF-TrFE) nanofibers were first electrospun and organized into a web structure. Using rotational and translatio...
