Flexoelectric and piezoelectric effects in micro- and nanocellulose films

Résumé

In this work, we evaluated the flexoelectric and piezoelectric contributions to the overall macroscopic polarization in cellulose films. To this end, the flexoelectric /431 and transverse effective piezoelectric e31,f coefficients of cellulose films were determined using cantilever beam bending. The experiments were based on theoretical developments allowing to separate the flexoelectric from the piezoelectric contribution, represented by an effective flexoelectric coefficient, /4eff, depending on both e31,f and /431. Five free-standing and stainless steel/ cellulose bilayer films were prepared from cellulose showing different morphologies and surface charge degrees: two almost neutral cellulose microfibers (CMF) and three (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)oxidized cellulose micro- (TCMF) and nanofibers (TCNF) bearing negative charged groups on the surface. The dielectric properties of the films indicated a low dielectric constant for unmodified CMF, and a huge increase for TEMPO-oxidized samples, which were up to 9 times higher than poly(vinylidene fluoride)-based polymers. TEMPO-oxidized cellulose films exhibited the largest flexoelectric coefficients (almost 7 times higher than those of synthetic polymer dielectrics), which evidenced that the presence of polar groups and surface charge boosted both flexoelectricity and piezoelectricity in unpoled cellulose films. These findings pave the way towards sustainable cellulose-based curvature sensors with large effective flexoelectric coefficients, without the need of preliminary energy consuming poling step.
