   • 1987, Ramon P. De Paula, Eric Udd, Fiber optic and laser sensors IV: 22-24 September 1986, Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, page 49:

     Piezoactive polymers are partially crystalline, and the crystalline regions are ferroelectric, that is the crystalline regions are permanently polarized.

   • 2012, Helmut Ermert, Hans-Peter Harjes, Acoustical Imaging, volume 19, page 761:

     Because quartz is piezoactive, the EA signal in the first mode was registered from the bottom filter electrode, whereas the top one was earthed, i.e. the filter was simultaneously used both as sample investigated and as piezoelectric transducer.
