Rosenberg, “Piezoelectric polymer actuator and material properties, Proc. 10th Internat. Symp. on Applic. of Ferroelectrics, IEEE Cat. No. 96CH35948, pp. 377-380 (4 pages).https://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/12632This paper presents the construction and performance of a PVF/sub 2/ [poly(vinylidene fluoride), (CH/sub 2/CF/sub 2/),] thin film piezoelectric actuator. In addition, the paper discusses the methods used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of the actuator material.en-USArticle
