During bone tissue regeneration, neovascularization is critical, and the formation of a blood supply network is crucial for bone growth stimulation and remodeling. Previous studies suggest that bioelectric signals facilitate the process of angiogenesis. Owing to their biomimetic electroactivity, piezoelectric membranes have garnered substantial interest in the field of guided bone regeneration. Nevertheless, the knowledge of their influence due to varying surface potentials on the progression of angiogenesis remains ambiguous. Therefore, we proposed the preparation of an electroactive material, P(VDF-TrFE), and investigated its effects on the activity and angiogenic functions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The HUVECs were directly cultured on P(VDF-TrFE) membranes with different surface potentials. Subsequently, cell viability, proliferation, migration, tube formation, and expressions of related factors were assessed through appropriate assays. Our results revealed that the negative surface potential groups exerted differential effects on the modulation of angiogenesis in vitro. The P(VDF-TrFE) membranes with negative surface potential exhibited the greatest effect on cellular behaviors, including proliferation, migration, tube formation, and promotion of angiogenesis by releasing key factors such as VEGF-A and CD31. Overall, these results indicated that the surface potential of piezoelectric P(VDF-TrFE) membranes could exert differential effects on angiogenesis in vitro. We present a novel approach for designing bioactive materials for guided bone regeneration.

Biophysical and biochemical cues of biomaterials can regulate cell behaviors. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in pulp tissues can differentiate to odontoblast-like cells and secrete reparative dentin to form a barrier to protect the underlying pulp tissues and enable complete pulp healing. Promotion of the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs is essential for dentin regeneration. The effects of the surface potentials of biomaterials on the adhesion and odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs remain unclear. Here, poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoro ethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) films with different surface potentials were prepared by the spin-coating technique and the contact poling method. The cytoskeletal organization of DPSCs grown on P(VDF-TrFE) films was studied by immunofluorescence staining. Using atomic force microscopy (AFM), the lateral detachment forces of DPSCs from P(VDF-TrFE) films were quantified. The effects of electrical stimulation generated from P(VDF-TrFE) films on odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The unpolarized, positively polarized, and negatively polarized films had surface potentials of −52.9, +902.4, and −502.2 mV, respectively. DPSCs on both negatively and positively polarized P(VDF-TrFE) films had larger cell areas and length-to-width ratios than those on the unpolarized films (P < 0.05). During the detachment of DPSCs from P(VDF-TrFE) films, the average magnitudes of the maximum detachment forces were 29.4, 72.1, and 53.9 nN for unpolarized, positively polarized, and negatively polarized groups, respectively (P < 0.05). The polarized films enhanced the mineralization activities and increased the expression levels of the odontogenic-related proteins of DPSCs compared to the unpolarized films (P < 0.05). The extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway was involved in the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs as induced by surface charge. In vivo, the polarized P(VDF-TrFE) films enhanced adhesion of DPSCs and promoted the odontogenic differentiation of DPSCs by electrical stimulation, demonstrating a potential application of electroactive biomaterials for reparative dentin formation in direct pulp capping.

A lead-free tetragonal-phase (Ba 0.94 Ca 0.06 )(Ti 0.95 Zr 0.05 )O 3 (BCTZ) micro sheet is prepared by molten-salt growth method, which exhibits a polarizing behavior of relaxor ferroelectricity and possesses a high dielectric constant ( ε r ) of ~2400. Subsequently, the BCTZ sheet is evenly doped into ferroelectric copolymer P(VDF-TrFE)55/45 mol% with different mass fractions, and the flexible BCTZ/P(VDF-TrFE) composite films are prepared using a conventional solution casting process. ε r of BCTZ/P(VDF-TrFE) increases with the mass content of BCTZ, and reaches 23.8 in 20 wt% BCTZ sample. Meanwhile, at a high electrical field of 30 MV/m, the strain and electric field of BCTZ/P(VDF-TrFE) are in the opposite direction, indicating a negative value of piezoelectric strain coefficient ( d 33 ) caused by inverse piezoelectric effect. In addition, d 33 of different BCTZ/P(VDF-TrFE) films are fitted using a strain-electrical field curve, which firstly increases and then decreases with increases in BCTZ content. As such, a high d 33 of −47.3 pC/N is obtained in BCTZ/P(VDF-TrFE)15/85 wt% film. Thus, this research concerning the inverse piezoelectric effect may provide a reference for designing a piezoelectric composite using in transducers and actuators.

In this paper, we investigated the dependence of dynamic hysteresis on the electric field amplitude E 0 and the frequency f in organic ferroelectric copolymer polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene [P(VDF-TrFE)] thin films prepared by a spin-coating method on fluorine-doped tin oxide conductive glass. Three stages can be observed of the hysteresis area vs the field strength E 0 . In stage I of low E 0 values, the area ⟨ A ⟩ dependent on E 0 follows the law of ⟨ A ⟩ ∝ E 0 1.92795 , whereas the diverse distribution of the area ⟨ A ⟩ with frequency f is found. In stage II of the intermediate E 0 values, ⟨ A ⟩ ∝ E 0 β is not applicable owing to collective contributions between 180° domain and chiral domain, while a relation of ⟨ A ⟩ ∝ f − 0.18636 can be deduced, a fascinating characteristic distinguishing from the nonlinear relations of the inorganics in this section. In stage III of high E 0 values, the scaling law is ⟨ A ⟩ ∝ f 0.08447 E 0 0.49394 where the chiral domain is active. The positive β in the law of ⟨ A ⟩ ∝ f α E 0 β illustrates that a growing number of chiral domains in P(VDF-TrFE) can keep pace with the variation of E 0 . Especially, the negative α in the transition zone, resembling some inorganics under low electric fields, probably indicates 180° domain reversal failing to follow with the alternating velocity of the increasing periodic electric field.

HighlightsTemplate molding created nanofiber-clustered structures on P(VDF-TrFE) films.Poled films exhibited enhanced piezoelectric response and surface potential.Poled films promoted BMSC adhesion, proliferation, and ALP activity.Topographical and electrical changes were linked to cell–material interactions.Surface morphology and electrical characteristics are key factors affecting cell–material interactions on electroactive polymer films, but their coupled effects remain unclear. In this study, P(VDF-TrFE) nanofiber-clustered films were fabricated using an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template-assisted molding method, and their surface electrical properties were subsequently tailored by corona poling. The nanofibrous structure was formed without substantially disrupting the characteristic polar β phase. Compared with the planar film, the water contact angle (WCA) of the nanofiber-clustered film increased from 74.8° to 132.5°, indicating markedly enhanced hydrophobicity. Furthermore, corona poling increased the magnitude of the piezoelectric coefficient (|d33|) and altered the surface potential state. Protein adsorption and cell studies further showed that polarized nanofiber-clustered surfaces exhibited greater protein adsorption, more extensive cell spreading, and higher CCK-8 signals and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. These results indicate that the biological interfacial response of P(VDF-TrFE) films is regulated by surface morphology, wettability, and polarization-induced electrical characteristics. This work provides insight into the combined roles of nanofiber-clustered topography and electrical characteristics in regulating cell-material interactions on P(VDF-TrFE) surfaces.

Ultrathin epidermal piezoelectric sensors are essential in the next generation of wearable flexible electronics due to their conformal contact with the skin. However, the fabrication and peeling of ultrathin film still face great challenges, and there is an urgent need to develop a facile and effective process. Here, we propose a method of combing spin-coating and aqueous phase exfoliating to prepare the ultrathin poly(vinylidene fluoride-ran-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) piezoelectric film with a thickness of about 3 μm. And the thermal treatment is employed to improve its crystallinity and piezoelectricity, resulting in the piezoelectric coefficient of 11.67 pC N–1 and fine sensitivity of 4.56 mV kPa–1. The ultrathin device is successfully applied to monitor the signals of arterial pulse and interactive force, which is expected to provide references for medical diagnosis and robot design. Notably, this work might motivate design principles and methods of ultrathin epidermal devices and promote its applications in wearable flexible electronics.

Paraelectric/ferroelectric bilayer composites are promising candidates for high-performance dielectric capacitors. However, the energy densities of these composites need to be further improved to satisfy the miniaturization of electronic devices. Herein, an Al2O3/P(VDF–HFP) buffer layer is inserted between a paraelectric PMMA layer and a ferroelectric P(VDF–HFP) layer, forming a novel trilayer structure. It is interesting to find that the buffer layer effectively alleviates the huge electric field gap between the P(VDF–HFP) layer and PMMA layer, yielding substantially improved breakdown strengths (>600 kV/mm), which are over 140% that of the bilayer P(VDF–HFP)/PMMA composite (∼425 kV/mm). In addition, the introduction of the buffer layer also results in improved interfacial polarization, hence, the moderately elevated permittivity. Consequently, a high energy density of 10.03 J/cm3, which is about 260% that of the bilayer P(VDF–HFP)/PMMA composite (∼3.9 J/cm3), is achieved at 600 kV/mm. This work offers a facile strategy to achieve dielectric composites with high breakdown strengths, which is illuminating for the design of high-voltage energy-storage capacitors.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluorethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) has promising potential applications in radio-frequency filters due to their excellent piezoelectric properties, flexibility, and stability. In this paper, a flexible film bulk acoustic wave filter is investigated based on P(VDF-TrFE) as piezoelectric film. A new method based on three-step annealing is developed to efficiently remove the porosity inside the P(VDF-TrFE) films so as to improve its properties. The obtained film achieved high β-phase content beyond 80% and a high piezoelectric coefficient of 27.75 pm/V. Based on the low porosity β-phase films, a flexible wide-band RF filter is designed, which consists of a bulk acoustic wave resonator and lumped inductor-capacitor elements as a hybrid configuration. The resonator sets the filter’s center frequency, while the lumped LC-based matching network extends the bandwidth and enhances out-of-band rejection. The testing results of the proposed wide-band filter show its good performance, with 12.5% fractional bandwidth and an insertion loss of 3.1 dB. To verify the possibility of folding and stacking the flexible bulk acoustic wave devices for high-density multi-filter integration in MIMO communication, bending tests of the filter are also conducted with the bending strain range up to 5500 με. The testing results show no noticeable performance degradation after four bending cycles. This work demonstrates the potential of β-phase P(VDF-TrFE) bulk acoustic wave filters to expand the scope of future flexible radio-frequency filter applications.

Polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene [P(VDF-TrFE)] polymer materials possess good piezoelectric properties , leading to their use in many practical applications as sensors and transducers. However, pure P(VDF-TrFE) exhibits relatively brittle properties and low thermal resistance . In this work, porous P(VDF-TrFE)/PBDMS flexible materials were designed by embedding a low Young's modulus polyborosiloxane (PBDMS) into the [P(VDF-TrFE)] structure. These P(VDF-TrFE)/PBDMS porous polymer materials exhibit excellent flexibility and piezoelectric response to external stimuli such as bending, shock, vibration, and breathing. The output voltage of these polymer materials can be maintained at a high value of 8.25 V over 6600 cycles of continuous vibration. In addition, the porous polymer materials generate a transient voltage response when in contact with small droplets of water at different temperatures. This work provides a novel approach for designing lightweight and wearable piezoelectric sensors for potential applications in human motion monitoring, mechanical vibration monitoring, and pyroelectric devices.

This study evaluates the dehydrofluorination of fluoroelastomer (poly(VDF-co-HFP) copolymer) which was dissolved by organic solvent and reacted with different concentrations of KOH and different amount of phase transfer catalyst (PTC) at 20–60 °C.The structures, sequence types and contents of double bonds of samples were analyzed and investigated by Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(ATR-FTIR), 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 19 F NMR spectroscopy and chemical titration method. The results revealed that dehydrofluorination of the studied fluoroelastromers could be carried out at room temperature in alkaline environments, wherein the temperature and alkali concentration were the great factors. And the dehydrofluorination of poly(VDF-co-HFP) copolymer conformed mainly to Zaitsev's rule and partially to Hofmann's rule. The double bonds (–C=C–) would generate in five positions of molecular chains and contents could be controlled. With increase of alkali concentration or reaction temperature, there would be dehydrofluorination accompanied with oxidation reaction whereby some –C=C– converted to hydroxyl groups . Finally, the mechanism of reaction was also deduced.

Radiative-cooled textiles are attracting attention because they can spontaneously lower the microenvironmental temperature of the human body. The radiative cooling and hydrophobic fabric was prepared by two-step dip-coating on PET fabric with a ZnO/P(VDF-HFP) as radiative cooling coating and a PDMS hydrophobic wear-resistant layer. The effect of morphology (sheet, hexagonal prism, flower, and rod) of ZnO nanomaterial on the radiative cooling property of the coated fabric was examined. Among the four types of ZnO, the ZnO sheets have the highest sunlight reflectivity of 0.827. Besides, P(VDF-HFP) is a binder that loads ZnO onto PET fibers and enhances the solar reflectivity of coated fabric by reflecting visible light. Hence, the ZnO sheet/P(VDF-HFP)-PDMS (Z S PP) coated fabric possessed a solar reflectance of up to 91.3 % under the synergistic effect of ZnO sheets and P(VDF-HFP), and due to specific functional groups (e.g. C–F, C–Si) in the hybrid coating, and its mid-infrared emissivity reached 93.2 %. As a result, the Z S PP coated fabric were 7.1 °C cooler than the PET fabric under direct sunlight, with an average cooling efficiency of 72.6 W·m −2 . The coated fabric demonstrated well-hydrophobic and durability properties due to the PDMS, making them much more suitable for use in complex outdoor environments.

Passive radiative cooling technology is realized by increasing solar reflection and infrared emission. Polymer materials demonstrate greater potential in multi-scenario cooling applications due to their excellent flexibility and manufacturability. Intrinsic characteristic modification is crucial for enhancing the performance of materials. Here, the radiative cooling properties of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) with different C─F content are evaluated. Theoretical studies based on first-principles calculations are conducted to understand the screening of chemical bonds from phonon dispersions. Then the optical performances are tested, with P(VDF-TrFE) showing an enhanced net cooling power of 41% and 21% during daytime and nighttime, respectively. On-site measurements have also been conducted. Compared to PVDF, the average cooling temperature drops of P(VDF-TrFE) increase from 7.2 to 8.5 °C at noon and from 2.1 to 3.5 °C at night. This work successfully bridges atomic-scale characteristics with material-level radiative performance, providing a reference for finding effective radiative cooling materials through phononic properties.
