Description
Summary:The unique properties of piezopolymers endow them with particular advantages for use in electroacoustic devices such as the self‐supporting dome hydrophone shown in the Figure. Thin or especially thick films can be fabricated, and three‐dimensional forming of the materials can be accomplished by standard techniques. Further interesting possibilities offered by incorporating a ferroelectric ceramic into a non‐electroactive polymer matrix are sketched.
