α to β Phase Transformation and Microestructural Changes of PVDF Films Induced by Uniaxial Stretch

TL;DR: The phase transformation from α to β poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) through a stretching process at different temperatures was investigated in this paper, where the stretched samples were studied and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding High-Energy-Density Sn4P3 Anodes for Potassium-Ion Batteries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors confine Sn4P3 in N-doped carbon fibers as anode for potassium-ion batteries with enhanced cycling stability and high rate capability (160.7 mA hr g−1 after 1,000 cycles at 500 mA g −1).
Journal ArticleDOI

Boosting the Potassium Storage Performance of Alloy-Based Anode Materials via Electrolyte Salt Chemistry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed suitable electrode materials and electrolytes for accommodating the relatively large size and high cost of PIBs, which is a promising energy storage system because of the abundance and low cost of potassium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the β-phase content and degree of crystallinity on the piezo- and ferroelectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride)

TL;DR: In this article, the ferroelectric switching behavior and piezoelectric response of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) prepared by drawing at stretching ratios from 1 to 5 and temperatures from 80 to 140 °C has been studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Piezoelectric polymers as biomaterials for tissue engineering applications

TL;DR: The most used materials for tissue engineering strategies are reported together with the main achievements, challenges and future needs for research and actual therapies and a compilation of the most relevant results and strategies are provided.
