Development of Flexible Piezoelectric Nanocomposites for Biomedical Applications

Researchers at the Centre for Nano and Soft Matter Sciences have developed a novel piezoelectric device using a polymer nanocomposite of flower-shaped tungsten trioxide (WO₃) embedded in a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) matrix. This innovation paves the way for flexible, wearable, energy-harvesting sensors that can convert mechanical energy from body movements into electrical signals for real-time monitoring of physiological parameters. The study highlights the potential for these devices in sustainable healthcare technologies and smart textiles.
