Piezoelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) microstructure and poling state in active tissue engineering

Tissue engineering often rely on scaffolds for supporting cell differentiation and growth. Novel paradigms for tissue engineering include the need of active or smart scaffolds in order to properly regenerate specific tissues. In particular, as electrical and electromechanical clues are among the mos...
