Ivo B. Rietveld’s latest paper ‘Electrospray induced ferroelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride) thin films’ was selected as a hot article in Journal of Materials Chemistry.
Electrospray deposition of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) allows control over the level of ferroelectricity in thin film. It is a single-step procedure involving deposition, β-phase formation and poling. The extent of β-phase formation and poling depends on the ratio of ion current and PVDF concentration and on spray time. Read the full article here:
