Abstract :
The present study reports the results of an investigation for the preparation, characterization and determination of pyroelectric properties of anionic collagen and anionic collagen:P(VDF/TrFE) copolymers, and is a part of a major work to develop new sources of dielectric biomaterials for tissue remodeling or coating of cardiovascular devices
