Since the discovery of its strong piezoelectricity in 1969, poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has been researched on extensively. Due to its list of high-performance properties, such as its non-reactivity and high resistance to a broad range of solvents, PVDF shows potential as a good biomaterial. I...
