The piezoelectric d33 coefficient of electrically poled commercial polyamide-11 films as well as of ferroelectric films, prepared by melting the powder in a hot press at 210∘C, quenching in ice-water, uniaxially stretching with a ratio of 3:1 and subsequent electrical poling above the coercive field (75 MV/m) is studied by use of dynamic piezoelectrical measurements where a force acts on the film periodically and the piezoelectric voltage across the film is measured. The influence of processing conditions (particularly stretching and annealing temperatures) on the piezoelectric activity and the temperature dependence of the piezoelectric coefficient is investigated in detail. The aim is the enhancement of the piezoelectric coefficient of the film material without losing its excellent thermal stability up to temperatures just below the melting region.
