Does anyone know if piezos like pvdf's can be fabricated as a rod rather than a strip?

SUMMARY
Piezos, specifically polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), can indeed be fabricated as rods rather than strips, although strips are more common in current applications. The discussion highlights that while piezoelectric films are prevalent, alternative forms like rods can be explored. Quartz rods are noted to be too stiff for applications requiring flexibility, necessitating materials with a lower modulus for effective bending. This indicates a need for further investigation into suitable materials for rod fabrication.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of piezoelectric materials, specifically PVDF.
