Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymers have piqued a substantial amount of research interest for its use in modern flexible electronics. The piezoelectric beta-phase of the polymers can be augmented with the ...

Selective detection of nitroaromatic compounds such as Picric acid (PA), those being explosive materials and hazardous pollutants of environmental and biological concern is highly desirable. With the operational advantages ...

Since piezoelectric materials can convert mechanical pressure applied to them to electrical impulses and vice versa, they are unequivocally referred to as smart materials. Among such class of materials, the polymer-based ...

Lignin functions as an essential polymer in plants that forms the plant body's structural framework. The natural glue holds the cellulosic fibers together in the plant body, thereby providing rigidity and strength. Despite ...

Despite intensive research on graphene, large-scale production of high-quality graphene oxide/graphite oxide (GO) is challenging. The labour-intensive oxidative mechanical exfoliation is frequently found to be the rate-limiting ...
