  • Method for fabricating piezoelectric polymer acoustic sensors
    Patent number: 5750002
    Abstract: A method for forming a sensor includes providing a first and a second film and bonding an internal connection tab therebetween. The internal connection tab is positioned between the inner surfaces of the first and second films. Then a conductive adhesive is applied to either the tab or to the inner film surfaces such that the inner surfaces of the films and the tab are electrically connected. Finally, the films are pressed together to bond the films together with the internal connection tab inbetween.
