Abstract
In the practice of using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and a number of its copolymers as materials for the manufacture of systems for magnetic and electrical stimulation of tissues [1], capable of an electrical response to nanomechanical influence, as well as a response to the pulsating electromagnetic field of scaffolds [2] (as usually fibrous - obtained by electrospinning technologies, including nanofibrous [3]; less often - 3D-printed composite [4]) the main inductive-biophysical function is performed by the electrophysics of the β-phase, which provides high pyro- and piezoelectric properties PVDF (due to maximum dipole moment). Ferroelectric polymers based on PVDF, having a polycrystalline texture, after polarization exhibit piezoelectricity with a non-classical mechanism that persists for a long time.
