Detection of AE Generated by The Feeding Activity of Termites Using Piezo-electric Polymer Film PVDF

Polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) is the most sensitive piezo-electric polymer. The sensitivity of a 1-ply PVDF sensor was lower than that of a PZT sensor. The frequency spectra of AEs detected by PVDF film had some peaks under 10kHz, which depended on the characteristic frequencies of the longitudinal vibration of the specimen.
