Abstract :
The aim of the present work is to investigate the response to pure bending of a piezoelectric PVDF film as a standing-alone device. A model is proposed and experimental results show that these polymer films enjoy this property, opening very promising scenarios for their integration into flexible tactile sensing systems.
