Paper from BCMaterials published in Nature Protocols
A paper from BCMaterials “Electroactive poly(vinylidene fluoride)-based structures for advanced applications” has been published in Nature Protocols (doi:10.1038/nprot.2017.157).
In this work the different ways to process this important polymer in its electroactive phase and in the most different microstructures and shapes are presented. This work is relevant for the development of electroactive structures that have shown potential to be used in a wide range of applications, including sensors and actuators, in biomedicine, for energy generation and storage, and as filtration membranes.
