Abstract :
A novel method of using the biopolymer like Chitosan loaded with ~120 nm size of BaTiO3 of various concentration as elect ret, exhibiting piezoelectric property has been employed for mechanical sensing with detection of 80 Hz mechanical excitation by a shaker. Our investigations reveal the applicability for making use of it, as a vibration accelerometer.
