Stretchable piezoelectric elastic composites for sensors and energy generators

Dragan Damjanovic, Frank Nüesch, Tym De Wild, Jose Enrico Quijano Quinsaat

The search for a piezoelectric elastomer that generates an electrical signal when pressed and stretched has increased significantly in the last decade as they hold great promise in harvesting energy from human motion and monitoring human activities. Here, ...
