Abstract
An electrical responsive graphene-PVDF material and the manufacturing method thereof is disclosed in the present invention. The method includes three steps. Firstly, prepare a mother solution of PVDF. Then, add graphene powders into the mother solution of PVDF to prepare a graphene-PVDF slurry. At last, remove the solvent from the graphene-PVDF slurry to directly form an electrical responsive graphene-PVDF material. Due to the ability of transforming the non-electrical energy into the electrical energy, the electrical responsive graphene-PVDF material can be formed for many different applications in the form of individual film or of film with a substrate via various film formation methods.
