  • Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) for phase analysis.
  • X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron microscopy for structural characterization.

    • Main Results:

    • Processing conditions significantly influence the phase transformation of PVDF from the α-phase to the β-phase.
    • Optimized fibers (1 wt.% BaTiO3, thermal stretching ratio of 5, stretching rate of 40 mm/min, 18 kV electric field) achieved 61.3% crystallinity and 95.5% β-phase content.
    • Controlled processing parameters are crucial for tailoring the crystalline structure and enhancing piezoelectric potential.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed BaTiO3/PVDF composite fibers exhibit significant potential for flexible electroactive applications.
    • Optimized processing routes are effective in maximizing the electroactive β-phase content in PVDF.
    • Further electromechanical characterization is necessary for complete device integration and performance assessment.
