- This work developed self-powered cochlea replacement devices based on PVDF-TrFE piezoelectric polymer nanofibers, fabricated by electrospinning. The performances of the devices developed are competitive, and in certain ways superior, to those provided by other systems based on harmful inorganic piezoelectric materials recently reported. The present devices could not only have significant implication on auditory medical technologies, but also more broadly to the field of acoustic sensing and harvesting systems. The work attracted a major collaborative grant funded by EPSRC Transformational Approaches to Improving Hearing Aid Technology.
