Preparation of membranes of poly(vynilidene fluoride) as temperature sensors via electrospinning for biomedical applications

Solution of poly(vinylidene flouride) PVDF in the mixed solvent of N, N- Dimethylformamide DMF was used to electrospin in order to obtain ultrafine fibers for biomedical use as temperature sensors. This membranes made of PVDF were characterized optically using a lab-made setups to determine its wavelength changes in a transmittance and reflection mode. A SEM was done in order to see the size of the fibers. The temperature sensors has a good performance in any human being (37°C), neonatal body (36.5°C to 37.5°C) and other bio-applications up to 80°C.
