Abstract Fabrication of soft piezoelectric nanomaterials is essential for the development wearable and implantable biomedical devices. However, a big challenge in this functional material to achieve high property with long‐term stability biological environment. Here, one‐step strategy fabricating core/shell poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)/dopamine (DA) nanofibers (NFs) very β‐phase content self‐aligned polarization reported. The self‐assembled structure believed formation alignment PVDF,...
Zwitterionic materials demonstrate the strong surface hydration to empower their antifouling property.
Soft graphene nanofibers with recoverable electrical conductivity and excellent physicochemical stability are prepared by a controlled assembly technique. By using the soft for cellular stimulation, common inhibitory effect of long-term stimulation on nerve growth development is avoided, which usually happens traditional 2D conductive materials. As service to our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied authors. Such materials peer reviewed may be re-organized...
The long-segment peripheral nerve injury (PNI) represents a global medical challenge, leading to incomplete tissue recovery and unsatisfactory functional reconstruction. However, the current electrical stimulation (ES) apparatuses fail perfect repair due their inability of variable synchronous self-regulated function with physiological states. It is urgent develop an implantable ES platform physiologically adaptive provide instantaneous nerve-preferred ES. Here, signal generated by...
The rapid development of a self-powered system (SPS) has aroused an increasing interest in the field wearable electronics. current trend electronics is toward integration, portability, miniaturization, and sustainability. Hence, piezoelectric-driven patterned electrochromic supercapacitor (ESC) presented here, which integrated with energy harvesting, conversion, storage indication technologies. polyaniline (PANI) electrodes electrodeposited by coupling cyclic voltammetric galvanostatic...
