Biomimetic strategy for electrophoretic deposition of composite ferroelectric poly(vinylidene, fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) – ferrimagnetic NiFe2O4 films

This investigation is motivated by interest in fabrication of composite films combining ferrimagnetic properties of spinel ferrites with multifunctional properties of ferroelectric polymers. It addresses the need in the development of surface modification techniques for inorganic materials and polymers and their electrophoretic deposition (EPD) for the fabrication of composite films. This article describes for the first time the fabrication of …
