Non-conductive materials like rubbers, plastics, ceramics, and even semiconductors have
the property of flexoelectricity, which means that they can generate electricity when bent and …

Due to the stress concentration and large strain gradient around the crack tip, strong
flexoelectric effect would be produced there. Meanwhile, the flexoelectric effect could …

The performance of piezoceramic devices can be significantly affected by the size and
shape of the component structures, owing to the coexistence of piezoelectricity and …

Flexoelectric sensors respond with an electric polarization when they are subjected to
inhomogeneous deformation. When these are based on polymeric materials, the electro …

Strain gradient, a source of mechanical asymmetry in dielectrics, causes electric
polarization, which we call flexoelectricity. Manipulating the strain gradient is fundamental in …

A study of flexoelectric behavior of polyvinylfluoride, PVDF-based materials, was carried out
considering the design in macroscopic terms. The materials are prepared using solution …

We investigated the relationship between porosity and flexoelectricity for aluminum
(Al)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites. Neat PVDF, composites of micron aluminum …

Flexoelectricity describes a strain-gradient-induced electrical polarization in dielectric
materials. Compared with piezoelectricity, flexoelectricity has some advantages in size …

As a strain-gradient-induced electric polarization, flexoelectricity in dielectric materials is
benefiting from its size effect and manipulating strain gradients. Dielectric elastomers (DE) …

Electroactivity of polymers used in energetic materials may result in charge separation that
could result in safety concerns (unintentional ignition) or be exploited for multifunctional …
