Enhancement of piezoelectric properties in organic polymers all in the molecules

The inability to alter intrinsic piezoelectric behavior in organic polymers hampers their application in flexible, wearable and biocompatible devices, according to researchers at Penn State and North Carolina State University, but now a molecular approach can improve those piezoelectric properties. “Morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) is an important concept developed a half-century ago in ceramic materials,” … Continue reading Enhancement of piezoelectric properties in organic polymers all in the molecules
