摘要

Piezoelectric polymers combine the electro-mechanical and mechano-electrical functional response of piezoelectric materials and the mechanical flexibility and simple processability of polymers. This combination opens the way for a wide variety of applications in areas including biomedicine, aerospace and automotive, among others. This chapter presents the most widely used piezoelectric polymers, their physicochemical characteristics and functional response. The main challenges and needs in the field are also presented.
