The invention relates to a physically active patch having a planar substrate which is provided on one side with an adhesive layer, a first electrode being arranged, at least in regions, on the side of the substrate remote from the adhesive layer, then above said electrode, at least in regions, a layer formed from a piezoelectric, quasi-piezoelectric and/or electro-strictive polymer material, and above same, at least in regions, a second electrode.

Physically active patch, methods of manufacturing same and its use

A novel solar cell is shown, along with a method for the manufacture thereof, whereby molecules whose presence are to be verified and/or substances are deposited on such solar cells and are influenced by chemical or physical parameters to cause a change in the original electric parameters of the solar cells, such as photoelectric current or photoelectric voltage which facilitates the detection of chemical, biochemical and/or physical perimeters and substances on the solar cells. The sensitive molecules and/or substances, under certain conditions, also produce color or transmission changes, so that the photoelectric current of the solar cells change and, therefore can also be used as an indicator.

Solar cell sensors, process for their manufacture and their use

The invention relates to a method and an arrangement which are of importance in the polarization of shaped articles from polymers. The shaped articles from polymers, polarized by the method as per invention, are finding effective application in electroacoustic converters, piezoelectric switches and in proving electromagnetic radiation within a broad spectral zone. It is possible to obtain by the method as per invention and, respectively, the arrangement as per invention, above-average values for polarization as well as for the piezoelectrical and pyroelectrical coefficients. The arrangement as described, and respectively, the method as described are characterized by the use of charge-limiting polarization capacitors.
