BIOHARV project INTERREG V - Piezoelectric biobased polymers - Data set n°1

The BIOHARV projet is financed by FEDER, Wallonia Region, West-Vlaanderen Region and Agentshap Innoveren & Ondernemen. BIOHARV project started on 2016, October 1st for 4 years. Six academic & technological partners are gathered (Institute Mines Telecom North Europe, Armines, University of Mons, Centexbel, University of Lille and Polytechnic University Hauts-De-France. The main objective of the BIOHARV project is demonstrate & investigate piezoelectric, electroactive & electromechanical properties of biobased polymers. 

This dataset includes the evaluation of shear piezoelectric properties for various types of PLA processed by extrusion-MDO (machine-direction orientation) without high voltage poling. The technique used is based on a bimorph cantilver technique. The related article "Determination of Shear Piezoelectric Coefficients by a Bimorph Cantilever Technique for Extruded and Oriented Poly(L-Lactide) Films" will be published soon.
