Abstract

Graphene (G) based materials are highly attractive materials in biomedical area because of its biocompatibility and excellent physicochemical properties acquired by adding G. The purpose of this paper was to show the application potentiality of piezoelectric PVDF/G membranes.In this context, a methodology to fabricate PVDF/G membranes by electrospinning was developed.A preliminary comparison between PVDF/G and PVDF membranes was realized.Finally, it was possible to test the capacity ofPVDF/G membranes as frequency respiratory and temperature sensor.
