Abstract
. Moreover, such sensors also produce significant electrical performance of up to a few volts under human mechanical stress, thereby allowing for the monitoring of biomechanical movement of the human foot, elbow, and finger. Our study sheds light onto the use of piezoelectric polymers for flexible self-powered sensing electronics and wearable devices.
