AB  - In the last years, ultrasound energy harvesting has emerged as the most promising technique for wireless power supply of implanted medical devices. These devices require flexible piezoelectric materials with high piezoelectric response in the ultrasonic range. Here we report on bio-compatible NBT-BT/PVDF flexible composites, with variable filler content up to 50 vol%, prepared by a properly designed and optimized process, which incorporates in a complex connectivity pattern fully sintered NBT-BT crystalline powders in a PVDF matrix. The dielectric constant of the flexible composites increased from 10 of pure PVDF polymer to 110 of composite films with 50 vol% NBT-BT content, while the high frequency piezoelectric d33 constant increased from 0.2 pC/N to 33 pC/N for the same samples. The composite with 50 vol% NBT-BT exhibits the figure of merit for the harvested ultrasound energy d33g33 ≅ 1.54 × 10−12 m3/J, which is comparable to the figure of merit for the NBT-BT piezoelectric ceramic (1.8 × 10−12 m3/J) and higher than other reported results for random composites. Based on these results, this study provides an easy method to fabricate random flexible piezoelectric composites with enhanced high frequency piezoelectric response and high energy density harvested from an ultrasound source.
