Abstract :
Pellets of poly(vinylideneflouride) (PVDF) were mixed in N, N- Dimethylformamide (DMF). After this, applying the electrospun procedure we obtained ultrafine fibers (mats) for biological versatile applications. For example here we show an humidity sensor. PVDF films have shown excellent results applied as a soil moisture sensor, this results makes possible to apply PVDF films as control sensors for biological applications for bioreactors, assisted ventilation machines or even industrial applications.
