Abstract
The science and technology of piezoelectric materials has long been dominated by the availability of specific materials with particular properties. Piezoelectric PVDF (Poly(vinylidene fluoride) polymer and copolymers of PVDF with trifluoroethylene have shown to have the potential for new shock-wave sensors. Since 1981 through 1995, the piezoelectric response of PVDF was studied in a cooperative effort with Frangois Bauer of ISL, France, R.A. Graham of Sandia National Laboratories and L.M. Lee of Ktech Corporation, Albuquerque. Among the known piezoelectric polymers, the PVDF plays an important role in measuring mechanical and physical state of matter under shock loading. The present paper presents the history of the development of the PVDF gauge. After 24 years of research in this area, main relevant results and data obtained are summarized as well as some original applications of the PVDF gauges.
