This disclosure describes micro, sub-micro, and nano-cellular polymer foams formed from a polymer composition that includes a polymer and functionalized carbon nanotubes, and systems and methods of formation thereof. The microcellular polymer foam has an average pore size within a range of 1 micron to 100 microns, the sub-microcellular polymer foam has an average pore size within a range of 0.5 microns to 1 micron, and the nano-cellular polymer foam has an average pore size within a range of 10 nanometers to 500 nanometers. In other aspects, this disclosure describes micro, sub-micro, and nano-cellular polymer foams formed from a polymer composition that includes a polymer and non-functionalized carbon nanotubes.

Polymer foams including functionalized carbon nanotubes

A polymer composite thin film exhibiting piezoelectric properties may include a polymer matrix with base material of Polyoxymethylene (POM) and a piezoelectric additive of greater than approximately five (5) percent by weight of the polymer composite thin film. The piezoelectric additives may include BaTiOand KNN. The polymer composite thin film exhibits piezoelectric characteristics and may be used in electronic devices in piezoelectric actuators and piezoelectric sensors.

Flexible polyoxymethylene-based piezoelectric composites
