Abstract

Preliminary measurements of the piezoelectric effect in commercially produced Teflon cables have been performed using simple static methods. The effective piezoelectric constants for both uniaxial strain and torsional strain were determined. The effect, though 2–3 orders of magnitude smaller than those of good piezoelectric materials, is potentially useful as the basis of inexpensive but sensitive strain transducers.
