Abstract
Ultrasound transducers have many important applications in medical, industrial, and environmental settings. Large‐active‐area piezoelectric fibers are presented here, which can be woven into extended and flexible ultrasound transducing fabrics. This work opens significant opportunities for large‐area, flexible and adjustable acoustic emission and sensing for a variety of emerging applications.Keywords
