The Chinese Academy of Sciences develops new highly elastic ferroelectric materials that can be used in smart wear and other fields

It is reported that the Ningbo Institute of Materials, Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new type of highly elastic ferroelectric material, and the relevant results were published today in the international top academic journal "Science".


According to reports, ferroelectric materials are functional materials with self-charged surfaces and memory functions. Under the action of an external electric field, the charges can be rearranged, and even if the electric field no longer acts, the arranged charges will remain in their original state. This material is one of the essential materials in electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers.

Traditional ferroelectric materials are mostly brittle (inorganic) or plastic (organic). With the rapid development of wearable devices, flexible electronics and intelligent sensing, the requirements for using materials are getting higher and higher: they need to maintain stable performance under complex deformation.

The elongation rate of this material is as high as 125%. After stretching, it not only maintains its original ferroelectricity, but also quickly returns to its original shape after the external force is removed, which greatly improves reliability and service life, and expands the scope of use.

In addition, this material effectively solves the problem of traditional ferroelectric materials in the wearable field being difficult to maintain stable performance under large deformation, filling the gap in the field of elastic ferroelectric materials. In the future, sensors made of this material will be more flexible, have higher measurement accuracy and better wearing comfort, and are expected to be widely used in smart medical, smart wearable and other fields, and even be made into mobile phone screens that can be bent at will.
