Abstract

This study focuses on the exploration of electromechanical properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) using a new characterization tool for piezoelectric polymers. The theoretical background is briefly described, then the experimental setup is shown, results are presented and discussed. The study puts emphasis on the temperature and humidity dependency of d31of PVDF. Finally, a short conclusion is given.
