Abstract

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a common semicrystalline fluoropolymer polymer. Due to its excellent piezoelectric properties, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, it has excellent processability and chemical tolerance to a range of materials such as acids, bases, organic solvents, grease, and fat. The current research provides an overview of recent advancements and developments in the implementation and modification of PVDF membranes, with a particular emphasis on sensors, biomedical engineering and devices, nanotechnology, solar applications, energy harvesting, and drug delivery carrier. Ferroelectric polymers are interesting from an electrical perspective. Ferroelectric polymers are insulating and polar and have a non-conjugated backbone, so they are known as strongly insulating materials from an optical perspective. Insulating polymers are particularly appealing for the study of charge transportation and storage. Because of their insulating properties and high concentration, such polymers often provide the best electrets for practical use. On the other hand, PMMA is an amorphous polymer, and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) advances have opened a wide variety of uses in nanotechnology. The understanding of PMMA properties has greatly aided recent advancements in the polymer’s synthesis, modification, and applications. As a result, this analysis aims to compare the physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of PVDF and PMMA. This article also gives a wise guide in the advancement of these two polymers in various fields of science and technology.
