Abstract

The invention relates to the production of blocks of macromolecular material displaying piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties and provides a production process consisting in drawing a thin strip of a film of macromolecular material from a feed reel, electrically polarizing the said film and coating it with adhesive by means of a solution based on a polymeric binder before the forming on a mandrel of a roll of which the turns form, after drying, a monolithic structure which may be split into blocks. The invention finds particular use in the production of electromechanical transducers for applications connected with electroacoustics and underwater acoustics.
