Abstract
PIEZOELECTRIC effect has been observed in a variety of naturally occurring polymers such as cellulose and collagen1 and has also been detected in synthetic polypeptides such as poly-γ-methyl-L-glutamate2. We report here the discovery of the piezoelectric effect in a synthetic optically active polymer3.
