Harvesting systems capable of transforming mechanical vibration into electrical energy have attracted considerable interest with particular focus on electroactive polymers. In this work, a composite material consisting of a polyurethane matrix filled with a high-k ceramic nanofiller (CaCu3 Ti4O12) is fabricated by doctor blade coating. Single strips, with sputtered electrodes, are electrically connected in parallel increasing electrical capacitance. The required bias voltage is provided by two alternative solutions, a rechargeable battery or a custom electret made by corona charging.

Abstract
Harvesting systems capable of transforming mechanical vibration into electrical energy have attracted considerable interest with particular focus on electroactive polymers. In this work, a composite material consisting of a polyurethane matrix filled with a high-k ceramic nanofiller (CaCu3 Ti4O12) is fabricated by doctor blade coating. Single strips, with sputtered electrodes, are electrically connected in parallel increasing electrical capacitance. The required bias voltage is provided by two alternative solutions, a rechargeable battery or a custom electret made by corona charging.
