Abstract

We report a new piezoelectric design scheme and flexible polyurethane foams with d₃₃ piezocoefficients up to 244 ± 30 pC N⁻¹. Doping nonpolar polymers with polar molecules creates highly polar materials, while mesostructures yield advantageous mechanical properties for piezoelectric response.
