www.ultrasonic-resonators.orgpiezoelectric effect. The piezoelectric effect is exhibited by a number of naturally-occurring crystals, for instance quartz, tourmaline and sodium potassium tartrate, and these have been used for many years as electromechanical transducers. For a crystal to exhibit the piezoelectric effect, its structure should have no centre of symmetry. A
Piezo Film Sensors Technical Manual
www.sparkfun.comBy the 1960's, researchers had discovered a weak piezoelectric effect in whale bone and tendon. This began an intense search for other organic materials that might exhibit piezoelectricity. In 1969, Kawai found very high piezo-activity in the polarized fluoropolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride

Pressure applied to the sensor compresses an internal crystal or man-made ceramic measuring element (Figure 1). This pressure displaces an electrical charge that is proportional to the applied force, which is also proportional to the acceleration ...
