Abstract
The Piezoelectric Polymer Sensors discovered in the early 20th century, are widely used today in different technologies and applications. The high piezo-activity in polarized fluoropolymer polyvinylidene fluoride, known as PVDF - observed since 1969, is currently a fundamental effect for some of many promising sensors. In this research an attempt to use a PVDF sensor to estimate some thermal processes have been performed. The reaction of PVDF under some thermal loadings is examined. For this purpose an amplifier for Piezofilm signal conditioning is provided, some experiments performed and conclusions reported.
