Abstract :
Describes a simple measuring technique which is useful for characterising in a nondestructive manner the electrical properties of tubular devices made from piezoelectric polymers. The proposed measuring technique allows one to estimate the so-called d33* constant, a parameter often used for evaluating piezoelectric activity.
