The piezoelectric activity of a hybrid ferroelectric nanocomposite, i.e. polyamide 11/barium titanate (BT), has been investigated for different loadings of BT particles. The BT volume fraction (phi) was ranging from 0.024 to 0.4 with a particle size of 50, 100, 300 and 700 nm. The influence of polarization mode on the piezoelectric behaviour has been studied. The magnitude of the poling field used in this study is in the same order of magnitude of the one used for bulk BT i.e. significantly lower than for piezoelectric polymers. The optimum piezoelectric coefficient is reached when the amorphous phase of the polymeric matrix is in the liquid state i.e. for a polarization temperature higher than the glass transition and for time constant allowing macromolecular mobility. The composite piezoelectric activity decreases for particles size lower than 300 nm due to the loss of the tetragonal phase. The nanotexture of these particles has been investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution TEM. A core shell structure has been observed. An increase of the longitudinal piezoelectric strain coefficient d(33) with the raising of BT volume fraction was shown. Contrary to inorganic piezoelectric ceramics, the dielectric permittivity of hybrid composites remains moderate; therefore it allows the piezoelectric voltage coefficient of composites to be higher than ceramics.
