An analytical approach aimed at modeling the nonlinear optical (NLO) response of a polymer electret with incorporated organic dipole chromophores is extended to the dynamic case. The approach allows the effect of the locally anisotropic, polarizable, deformable polymer matrix on the chromophore NLO response to be accounted for. The method exploits the original cavity ansatz according to which the virtual cavity occupied by the chromophore in the polymer matrix is chosen to be conformal to the characteristic ellipsoid of the generalized permittivity tensor. Analytical expressions for the dynamic electric moments of dipole chromophores and macroscopic polarization of a polymer electret at fundamental and second harmonic frequencies are obtained by using a computational scheme based on two self-consistency procedures. On the basis of the expressions for dynamic macroscopic polarization, the analytical formulas for linear, chi(j)(i(1)) (omega), and quadratic, chi(jk)(i(2)) (2omega), electric susceptibilities are obtained. The presented expressions establish the relationship between the molecular polarizabilities of chromophores and the macroscopic electrical properties of the polymer electret.

Modification of the dielectric friction layer materials is an ideal way to enhance the output performance of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), but current research mostly focuses on the metal-polymer or metal-SiO materials. In this work, we constructed different TENG models based on polymer C F -SiO electret materials, and the electronic properties of the different contact surfaces were investigated using first principles. We found that the charge transfer in C F -SiO materials occurred only at the contact interface, and it was partially affected by the terminal atoms near the SiO interface.

Electrostriction is an important electro-mechanical property in poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films, which describes the proportional relation between the electro-stimulated deformation and the square of the electric field. Generally, traditional methods to improve the electrostriction of PVDF either sacrifice other crystalline-related key properties or only influence minimal regions around the surface. Here, we design a unique electret structure to fully exploit the benefits of internal crystal in PVDF films.

The pursuit for advanced magnetoelectric field sensors has gained momentum, driven by applications in various fields, ranging from biomedical applications to soft robotics and the automotive sector. In this context, a capacitive read-out based magnetostrictive polymer composite (MPC) sensor element is introduced, offering a new perspective on magnetic field detection. The sensor element's unique feature is the possibility to independently tailor its mechanical and magnetic properties.

Particulate matters (PMs), one of the major airborne pollutants, continue to seriously threaten human health and the environment. Here, a self-crystal-induced electret enhancement (SCIEE) strategy was developed to promote the in-situ electret effect and polarization properties of electrospun poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofibers. The strategy specifically involved the elaborate pre-structuring of stereocomplex crystals (SCs) with uniform dimensions (∼300 nm), which were introduced into PLLA electrospinning solution as the electrets and physical cross-linking points of high density.
