  The review unveils the diverse applications of concerted polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF)-carbon nanomaterial (CNM) systems, spanning from
electromagnetic interference shielding, including elimination of
5G-interference, to piezoelectrics and a variety of sensing modalities
(breathing, movement, health monitoring, structural integrity assessments, home
monitoring, and seismic acceleration). These materials also excel in
biomaterials with applications like tactile skin and COVID-preventing facemasks
through sunlight sterilization. Moreover, PVDF-CNMs demonstrate excellence in
radar absorption, solar-assisted electricity generation, triboelectric energy
harvesting, 3D-4D printing materials, anti-icing covers, anti-stealth
materials, and heat-dissipating solids in electronics. Across diverse
scientific disciplines, the research merges materials chemistry and
engineering, yielding materials with multimodal functionalities. The demand for
a comprehensive review stems from the need to synthesize insights from
fundamental sciences and technologies, capturing the cutting-edge nature of
these materials.
