  • Patent number: 10305021
    Abstract: Disclosed is a piezoelectric material including stereocomplex crystals of poly(D-lactic acid) (PDLA) and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), wherein poly(D-lactic acid) and poly(L-lactic acid) are crystallized into a stereocomplex, thus exhibiting superior heat resistance and piezoelectric properties. This piezoelectric material, which is obtained using poly(lactic acid), can be produced at very low cost compared to when using PVDF, and is configured to include stereocomplex crystals of PDLA and PLLA and can thus manifest high thermal stability and piezoelectric properties, compared to when using conventional PLLA alone. Such a piezoelectric material can be efficiently utilized in a variety of fields in which low production cost, high processing temperature in the manufacturing process, or high-temperature stability of piezoelectric material products is required.

  • Publication number: 20160190427
    Abstract: Disclosed are a nanofiber web piezoelectric material and a method of producing the same, wherein a spinning solution of polylactic acid (PLA) in a solvent is electrospun, yielding a nanofiber web, thereby exhibiting piezoelectric properties without additional drawing. This piezoelectric material is remarkably cost-effective, can exhibit superior piezoelectric properties, can be used to manufacture inexpensive piezoelectric products, and obviates any additional drawing because the PLA chain is drawn during electrospinning. The drawing force induced by a high electric field between the needle and the collector enables the formation of 31 helical ?-crystal chains in a uniaxial direction even without any other drawing process. This PLA nanofiber web is very thin and flexible, the PLA chains are effectively aligned in an electric field direction due to the high DC voltage used for electrospinning, and helical ? conformation is easily formed in a single process using electrospinning.
