Multilayer polymers may enable harvested energy to replace batteries

摘要

We have been discussing developments in plastic regularly through my piece. Recently I have learnt about how multilayer polymer like say polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), could help generating energy. Flexible plastics that turn mechanical vibrations into electrical energy could spur the development of self-powered sensors and devices according to a study research done by Singapore based The Agency for Science, Technology and Research.
