Ferroelectric polymers are the most promising electroactive materials with outstanding properties that can be integrated into a variety of flexible electronic devices. Their multifunctional capabilities, ability to bend and stretch, ease of processing, chemical stability, and the high biocompatibility of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)‐based polymers make them attractive for applications in flexible memories, energy transducers, and electronic skins. Here, recent advance in the research of PVDF‐based flexible electronic devices is reviewed, including nonvolatile memories, energy‐harvesting devices, and multifunctional portable sensors.
