Pyroelectric materials are important functional materials that can generate an electrical
response upon a temperature change. Among the many different types of pyroelectric …

The review seeks to cover recent developments in the area of fluorinated elastomers. It
reports that, except for isolated cases, most fluoroelastomers are synthesized by radical co …

The ability to monitor subtle changes in vital and arterial signals using flexible devices
attached to the human skin can be valuable for the detection of various health conditions …

Polymorphism in poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)/clay nanocomposites was studied. Poly
(vinylidene fluoride)/clay nanocomposites were prepared with melt intercalation. The …

In this work, computational molecular modeling and exploration was applied to study the
nature of the negative piezoelectric effect in the ferroelectric polymer polyvinylidene fluoride …

For decades, organic polymers were important only as insulators in the electornic industries.
Research on electroactive properties was confined mainly to inorganic materials such as …

A review is given of the properties and applications of poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVdF), a
strong, chemically-inert but electronically-active polymer. It is only recently that poled …

Photocatalysis, in which semiconductors are used to harvest light and produce charge
carrier derivatives, has been widely valued as a promising sustainable technique. However …

Shear piezoelectric properties of uniaxially stretched poly (l-lactide)(US-PLA) films
manufactured by an industrially relevant technique (ie, extrusion–orientation without poling) …

A dust particle detector based on a new physical principle of detection is described. The
basic detecting element requires no bias voltage and consists of a thin film of the polarized …
