Electrospinning is a technique that can be used to produce nanofibers, and it is discovered that it is able to enhance the β-phase of poly(vinylidene difluoride), PVDF. Owing to its highest polarization per unit cell, the β-phase of PVDF exhibits the maximum electroactive properties, i.e., ferro-, p...
