Abstract :
Sound pressure produces strain and polarization in piezoelectric polymer films. The electric charge induced by the polarization in the electrode of the films is introduced to a negative capacitance circuit and the resulting voltage is fed back to the electrode. The field-induced strain cancels the stress-induced strain, leading to the increase of the elastic coefficient of the films. If the capacitance of the circuit is controlled to be equal to that of the film, the elastic coefficient approaches infinity. Using this principle, the sound isolation by piezoelectric polymer films connected with a negative capacitance circuit was undertaken. A PVDF film with a curved plane was located in the middle of an acoustic tube and the transmission loss through the film was determined in the audio frequency range. At any single frequency, the complete isolation of sound was achieved by adjusting the feedback. The precise matching of complex capacitance of the circuit with that of the film was required to obtain the increase of the transmission loss over a broad frequency range.
