The discussion revolves around finding sources to purchase piezoelectric sheets, specifically those similar to a provided image. Participants explore various avenues for obtaining these materials, including online searches and DIY alternatives.
Discussion Character
- Debate/contested
- Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about where to buy piezoelectric sheets, indicating a need for specific sources.
- Another participant suggests that a simple Google search should yield results, implying that the original poster may not have searched thoroughly.
- A different participant challenges the assumption that Google results are insufficient, providing links to multiple sources found through a search.
- One participant proposes making piezoelectric sheets from Rochelle salt as an alternative to purchasing them.
- Another participant expresses frustration at the suggestion to search Google, indicating they are looking for more specific or additional information beyond what was found online.
- A later reply speculates that the desired material may be a PVDF film, asking for clarification on whether this is the case.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The point is that it seems pretty easy to find the info you are asking about. What is wrong with the hits that Dave pointed out?

From the picture, it may be a PVDF film. Is this what you are looking for? A flexible film?
