Alisha et al from Dr. Bhanu Prakash's group at INST use droplet microfluidics to create tunable PVDF microspheres, enabling piezoelectric devices as self-powered wearable sensors.

Alisha et. al. from Dr. Bhanu Prakash's research group at INST introduced droplet microfluidics technology to produce tunable Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microspheres with high electroactive phase that can lead to piezoelectric devices for wearable applications, serving as self-powered sensors for monitoring diverse physiological signals. This research highlights the collaborative potential of microfluidics, polymer science, and AI, propelling the development of intelligent materials.
