Prototyping & Lab-scale Evaluation
We produce electroactive polymer-based films and screen-printed piezoelectric transducers for lab-scale evaluation. Each piezoelectric sample is individually and accurately poled using our unique poling process. Piezotech supplies high quality devices with reproducible and homogeneous polarization. Our process provides control of:
- Electromechanical performance
- Spontaneous polarization
- Remnant polarization
Electroactive Film
Electroactive films of Piezotech® materials can be produced by ink casting.
Small film samples (12*12 cm) are available for prototyping and R&D laboratories. Piezotech® has the capabilities to sputter 12*12 cm films of quality-controlled P(VDF-TrFE), and P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) with Cr/Au, allowing for electrode coverage over the whole film surface.
Large film quantities and rolls of films can be produced with a partner by solvent casting on a wide range of substrates.
