DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe cochlear implant\, currently used as a clinical
  treatment for hearing loss in children and adults\, is a device that bypa
 sses the damaged sensory receptor hair cells by generating electric curren
 t in response to an acoustic sound. To address its fundamental limitations
  of size mismatch and poor biocompatibility at the electrodes-neurons inte
 rfaces\, we are developing and understanding the piezoelectric properties 
 of piezoelectric polymeric nanofibers under acoustic stimulation and also 
 exploring bioinspired piezoelectric polymeric nanofibre-based acoustic dev
 ices and investigating their performance for potential applications in coc
 hlear implants and hearing systems.\n\nSpeaker(s): \, Prof Wenhui\n\nAgend
