Abstract
With the advent of the intelligence era, flexible piezoelectric tactile sensors are the key components for sensing information and sending signals. The performance parameters of piezoelectric sensors are closely related to the selection of piezoelectric materials. Compared with conventional piezoelectric materials, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has significant advantages in flexibility, stretchability, chemical stability, electromechanical conversion, ease of use, and acoustic propagation impedance. As a result, PVDF has become a popular topic of research. This paper introduces the working principle of piezoelectric materials and flexible piezoelectric sensors based on PVDF materials and details the research progress of different materials based on PVDF for the preparation of flexible piezoelectric tactile sensors, such as: PVDF and its copolymers for the preparation of flexible piezoelectric sensors and PVDF doped with other functional materials for the preparation of flexible piezoelectric sensors. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of different materials and the development prospects of PVDF flexible piezoelectric sensors are summarized to provide some insights for high‐performance flexible PVDF piezoelectric sensors.
