Flexible piezoelectric thin-film energy harvesters and nanosensors for biomedical applications.
The use of inorganic-based flexible piezoelectric thin films for biomedical applications has been actively reported due to their advantages of highly piezoelectric, pliable, slim, lightweight, and biocompatible properties. The piezoelectric thin films on plastic substrates can convert ambient mechanical energy into electric signals, even responding to tiny movements on corrugated surfaces of in...
متن کاملHigh sensitivity flexible Lamb-wave humidity sensors with a graphene oxide sensing layer.
This paper reports high performance flexible Lamb wave humidity sensors with a graphene oxide sensing layer. The devices were fabricated on piezoelectric ZnO thin films deposited on flexible polyimide substrates. Two resonant peaks, namely the zero order antisymmetric (A0) and symmetric (S0) mode Lamb waves, were observed and fitted well with the theoretical analysis and modelling. With graphen...

متن کاملHigh performance piezoelectric devices based on aligned arrays of nanofibers of poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-trifluoroethylene).
Multifunctional capability, flexible design, rugged lightweight construction and self-powered operation are desired attributes for electronics that directly interface with the human body or with advanced robotic systems. For these applications, piezoelectric materials, in forms that offer the ability to bend and stretch, are attractive for pressure/force sensors and mechanical energy harvesters...
متن کاملTracking the moveable feast: sonomicrometry and gastrointestinal motility.
Ultrasonomicrometry measures distance between piezoelectric crystals based on transmission time of ultrasound bursts. It allows monitoring of coordinated motion of small and delicate tissues, including gastrointestinal sphincters. Its suitability for motility studies in small animals such as mice suggests that its use in gastrointestinal studies will increase in coming years.
