Material characterisation and cellular behavior on different poly (vinylidene fluoride) polymorphs
Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has attracted attention as a biomaterial because it is chemically inert, mechanically strong and stable over an extended period. PVDF exists in 4 polymorphs, with β-phase getting the most attention due to its piezoelectric property. However, questions on whether po...
