Piezoelectric Thin Films

Does anyone know where i can get/buy piezoelectric thin films? I need
something so thin and adhering that i can place it on skin to measure
muscle twitches or motion without it being noticible...sort of like a
1.5cm length soft scotch tape product. Or do you have a better
suggestion of how to unobtrusively measure muscle twitches/motion for
small muscles?

Failing that, try saran wrap, etc., but you'll need electrodes.
Or do you have a better suggestion of how to unobtrusively
measure muscle twitches/motion for small muscles?

Skin electrodes.

Winfiled Hill is pretty much always right, but if you do want a
piezoelectrinc thin film, the you might like to look at poled
polyvinylidene fluroide

used to be called AMP Kynar Piezo Film.
probably has a different name now.
