Piezoelectric energy harvesters (PEHs) have the potential to power low‐power electronic devices and can advance, self‐powered, autonomous electronics to the next level. Conventional ceramic‐based piezoelectrics have various properties such as fragility, rigidity, toxicity, high density, and lack of design flexibility which limit their use in more flexible environments. A ton of research has been carried out and published on novel piezomaterials, their transduction mechanisms, analytical models, and electrical circuits to improve various aspects of PEHs. Among these materials, studies on polymeric cellular (or foamed) ferroelectrets or piezoelectrets as PEHs have grown significantly since their discovery. Also, very limited or short reviews are available covering only few aspects. There is a necessity of recognizing their past and present advances in their various generation technology and polymer systems. Herein, a broader review of almost all conventional and recent polymeric foam‐based piezoelectrics for PEH applications is summarized. These cellular polymer piezoelectric systems either in bulk, composite, layered, or film form can be fabricated, and depending on the application and conditions, different polymers groups, mainly, polyolefins, polyester, fluoropolymer, and others, are considered. Their applications and future perspectives are also presented and discussed.

“…[2] Therefore, the importance of wound healing, especially for people who are diabetics, who are at high risk of wound infection, has received much attention. [3][4][5][6][7][8] Hence, using the best treatment method with a full understanding of the wound healing process helps to minimize infection at the lesion site and brings us closer to a successful wound healing. [3,9,10] The first step to protecting a skin lesion is to cover it with a dressing to prevent entering any foreign agents and keep the wound site clean.…”

Silk fibroin (SF) has been broadly applied in wound dressing fabrication because of its proper features for wound healing. In this work, we developed a carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/gelatin blend film with different concentrations of glycerol, and modified the optimized film with an SF layer through electrospinning process. Tensile strength and cell viability evaluation of blend films demonstrated that the glycerol content of 3% could be suitable as the substrate layer for the two‐layer wound dressing. The morphology of the blend film and electrospun nanofibers was obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). It concluded that structural changes had been occurred in both layers after cross‐linking with glutaraldehyde vapor. Further, it was shown that the mechanical properties of the two‐layer enhanced with the addition of SF. Moreover, the swelling ratio was higher than those of SF itself, due to the hydrophilic property of CMC/gelatin blend film. The biocompatibility of fibroblasts was investigated by MTT assay, and the coating showed an improvement in cell proliferation because of the cytocompatibility nature of SF. All results suggest that the prepared wound dressing could be a desirable candidate for wound healing applications.
