Wavenumber [cm ] Figure S2. The chemical structure of TMSPM (top left) and FTIR spectra of pure TMSPM (blue), as-made BTO nanoparticles (black), and TMSPM-grafted BTO nanoparticles (red). The bands at 2862-2882 cm-1 are attributed to C-CH3 and O-CH3 groups and the band at 1720 cm-1 is attributed to the C=O group. The broad peak centered at 3500 cm-1 is attributed to hydroxyl groups on the BTO nanoparticles which are present both in the as-made and TMSPM-modified samples. The samples were washed with copious amounts of ethanol and water prior to taking spectra and provide good evidence (along with the enhanced piezoelectric properties) that the TMSPM is grafted to the surface of the BTO nanoparticles. The spectra were recorded using a Spectrum Two spectrometer (Perkin Elmer).

Wavelength (nm) Figure S3. UV-Vis spectra of pure PEDGA (green) and PEGDA/BTO composite solutions; 1 % (black), 5 % (red), and 10% (blue). The transmittance is directly related to the BTO loading fraction and shows higher transmission at longer wavelength. The spectra were recorded using a Lambda 35 UV-Vis system (Perkin Elmer).

Kn nown forcess were placed d on the sen nsor using ann Instron 59882 material ttesting apparratus. A piece of PDMS was w placed on o the forcee sensor to pprotect the surface of tthe sensor annd to distributee the load equally. How wever, it was found thatt there are m minimal diffferences bettween similar lo oads with different contact areas. The T output vvoltage of thhe sensor coould be tuneed by changing g the supply voltage and d the feedbaack resistor, R1. The caapacitor, C1, was used aas the bypass capacitor. Un nder the mo ost sensitive set-up (-5 V supplied and R1 = 10 kthe sensor shows a linear l relatio onship with respect r to load above 2 N and an expponential rellation below w 2 N.

Chharge Figure S5. generated d from the piezoelectriic polymer is transferrred to the rreference caapacitor, C1, and producess an output voltage, v Vout, that is equaal to the volttage across C1. The Vout can be expressed as Vc = -Q - generated/C1. In the experiments a 100 1 pF capaacitor (and 220 Mfeedbback resistorr, R1) was used d as the refeerence capaccitor allowin ng the piezoeelectric coeffficient, d33, to be calcuulated from d33 = Vout × 100 0 pF/Fapplied.
