Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENERGY GENERATING MULTILAYER COMPOSITE MATERIAL FOR PAD APPLICATION IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
A multilayer composite energy generation device includes a bottom layer grouping including a fabric layer coated with a hydrophobic adhesive material, a middle layer including one or more piezoelectric transducers, and an upper layer include one or more fabric layers coated with a hydrophobic adhesive material. The middle layer may also be coated with a hydrophobic adhesive material. The piezoelectric transducer may include a thin-film piezoelectric material such as lead zirconium titanate (PZT). The hydrophobic adhesive material may be a paint-like polymeric material. The energy generation device may be coupled to a pavement segment such as a bicycle path, pedestrian path, or roadway.
