Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymers are the polymers with the highest dielectric constants and electroactive responses, including piezoelectric, pyroelectric and ferroelectric effects.

Previously, it was reported that PVDF crystalline structures were prepared separately by the solvent-casting method with different solvents. 13 Hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA), acetone and ...

The underlying mechanism improving piezoelectricity via interfacial polarization is elucidated through combining the experimental results, molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory ...

A foam core structure that encapsulates a highly foamed center layer with solid interior and exterior layers is the key to achieving 50% lightweighting in a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) pipe ...
