Interest in underwater transducers has persisted since the mid-1900s. Underwater
transducers are designed in various shapes using various materials depending on the …

The electrical properties of pristine fluoropolymers are inferior due to their low polar
crystalline phase content and rigid dipoles that tend to retain their fixed moment and …

In recent years, hydroacoustic transducers made of PZT/epoxy composites have been
extensively employed in underwater detection, communication, and recognition for their high …

Underwater acoustic spiral sources can generate spiral acoustic fields where the phase
depends on the bearing angle. This allows estimating the bearing angle of a single …

The ocean has a huge impact on our way of life; therefore, there is a need to monitor and
protect its biodiversity. Additionally, the ocean industrial potential for health, minerals, and oil …

The seashore is the front door to the oceans and the sustain of many societies. However,
humans still seem to be unable to unlock new paradigms to project sustainable growth of …

PVDF is a piezoelectric polymer with inexpensive, high mechanical, and excellent
piezoelectric properties. Due to high piezoelectiric effect of PVDF nanofibers, the focus of the …

Modified polymer blends demonstrated the desirable properties and performance suitable
for various applications. In the present investigation, we prepared the blends of crystalline …

A new class of piezoelectric composite spherical cap transducer that produces a wide beam
and bandwidth was developed for underwater acoustics. A finite element analysis (FEA) …

PVDF has special piezo/pyro/ferroelectric, flexibility, low weight, biocompatibility,
economical, good chemical/thermal, and high mechanical properties such as excellent …
