Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is well known as its excellent electroactive properties (piezo-, pyro- and ferroelecticity), especially β crystalline phase. Also, PVDF is a good candidate of biomaterial as its high biocompatibility. These two valuable properties make PVDF getting highly attention f...
