PVDF is a family of semi-crystalline fluoropolymers. They possess the characteristic stability of fluoropolymers especially when exposed to harsh thermal, chemical and UV environments.
This polymer has two important properties. Firstly, the polymer's polymorphism, and secondly its piezoelectric properties (when crystals generate electrical energy when mechanical stress is applied). It is the later which makes this polymer ideal for tactile sensor arrays, low cost strain gauges and lightweight audio transducers.
