“…To explore underwater environments and operate in underwater missions, sensing the surrounding environment is an essential topic for developing innovative underwater robots. Once this issue is particularly sensitive on robotic fish, a PVDF pressure sensor was developed 217 and integrated with a small water-proofed charge amplifier. The pressure PVDF-based sensor was optimized in a water tank, reporting a sensitivity of 0.071 Pa•mV −1 .…”

From scientific and technological points of view, poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, is one of the most exciting polymers due to its overall physicochemical characteristics. This polymer can crystalize into five crystalline phases and can be processed in the form of films, fibers, membranes, and specific microstructures, being the physical properties controllable over a wide range through appropriate chemical modifications. Moreover, PVDF-based materials are characterized by excellent chemical, mechanical, thermal, and radiation resistance, and for their outstanding electroactive properties, including high dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric response, being the best among polymer systems and thus noteworthy for an increasing number of technologies. This review summarizes and critically discusses the latest advances in PVDF and its copolymers, composites, and blends, including their main characteristics and processability, together with their tailorability and implementation in areas including sensors, actuators, energy harvesting and storage devices, environmental membranes, microfluidic, tissue engineering, and antimicrobial applications. The main conclusions, challenges and future trends concerning materials and application areas are also presented.

“…5 Diagram of direct piezoelectric effect Piezoelectric material Polyvinylidene-fluoride (referred to as PVDF) is a new type of polymer-type material.Because of wide frequency response, dynamic range, excellent wear resistance, flexibility, high and mechanical strength, PVDF has been widely applied in many areas, such as health care and measurement. For example, Edward Chen et al designed a low-cost PVDF pressure sensor for sensing the motion of a robot fish[12]. Kotian et al designed a PVDF sensor for measuring in-plane sinusoidal and impact induced by stresses[13].…”

Abstract. At present, reliable micro-force sensing is one of the most important research for micromanipulation and micro-assembly. Six kinds of methods to detect micro-force are described in this paper. Analysis of the basic principle and detection accuracy of each sensing method, and applications in micro-assembly and micromanipulation are briefly introduced. The purpose of this paper is to be useful to provide some references for scholars engaging in the micro-force sensing, which in turn promotes automatic processing level of micro-assembly and micromanipulation to reliably manufacture micro devices of high quality.
