Figure 4From: Textile piezoelectric sensors – melt spun bi-component poly(vinylidene fluoride) fibres with conductive cores and poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) coating as the outer electrode Schematic illustration of the stretching and concurrent contraction in the cross-section of the PVDF fibre, a) from side-view, b) of a cross-section of one single fibre (the brighter area signifies the PVDF) with a conductive core and shell (darker areas) as electrodes for the voltage signal.
