This study focuses on preparing piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanocomposites reinforced with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using an electrospinning process. The aim of this is to assess AgNPs' influence the properties PVDF and, therefore, create optimal composite enhanced properties, enabling its application in various fields both as sensor and actuator. Because electrical stimuli have proven a positive tissue engineering, combined AgNPs, which antimicrobial these composites demonstrate promising opportunity for biomedical scaffolds. proposed scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, mechanical are studied through tensile tests, while response measured in-house built setup coupling monitoring. An experimental test was numerical simulations COMSOL Multiphysics version 6.3 software package, paper also presents short review analytical methods used modelling simulation composites.
