Abstract

Film with piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties is obtained by extruding PVDF, stretching the extrudate and applying a corona discharge, preferably at the place where stretching occurs. The PVDF may be homopolymer, but copolymers of at least 50 mole % of vinylidene fluoride with tetrafluoroethylene and/or trifluoroethylene may be used.
