Self-Powered Piezoelectric Nano-Polymer Networks with Embedded Wireless Nodes for Distributed IoT Sensor PlatformsBy R.Nathiya, Deobarat Kumar Chandan, S. Duraisivam, K.Kannan, J. B Veeramalini, B. Parvathi Sangeetha, Ashok Kumar Chaudhary, Jayarama Pradeep, Rajendiran M
Abstract: Self-powered sensing systems are emerging as a promising solution for next-generation distributed Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, where lightweight, flexible, and low-maintenance devices are required for continuous monitoring. In this work, a self-powered piezoelectric nano-polymer network based on poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with BaTiO₃ nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was developed for flexible wireless sensing applications. The composite was designed to combine mechanical flexibility, enhanced piezoelectric response, and real-time …
