- Additional information
- In this work, we have electrospun piezoelectric PVDF nanofibres into devices that exhibit a multi-resonant frequency response in first attempt to create a direct replacement for damaged cochlear hair-cells thus paving the way for self-powered biomimicking and biocompatible, implantable, micro auditory sensors. This will inspire further research in the field to progress auditory bioimplant science by tackling the hurdles of greater miniaturization, the fabrication of a fibrous network microstructure with consistent homogeneity, and reproducible electrical contacts.
