  • Title: Recent Advances in Organic Piezoelectric Biomaterials for Energy and Biomedical Applications.
    Author: Shin DM, Hong SW, Hwang YH.
    Journal: Nanomaterials (Basel); 2020 Jan 09; 10(1):. PubMed ID: 31936527.
    Abstract:
    The past decade has witnessed significant advances in medically implantable and wearable devices technologies as a promising personal healthcare platform. Organic piezoelectric biomaterials have attracted widespread attention as the functional materials in the biomedical devices due to their advantages of excellent biocompatibility and environmental friendliness. Biomedical devices featuring the biocompatible piezoelectric materials involve energy harvesting devices, sensors, and scaffolds for cell and tissue engineering. This paper offers a comprehensive review of the principles, properties, and applications of organic piezoelectric biomaterials. How to tackle issues relating to the better integration of the organic piezoelectric biomaterials into the biomedical devices is discussed. Further developments in biocompatible piezoelectric materials can spark a new age in the field of biomedical technologies.
