Influence of the β−phase content and degree of crystallinity on the piezo- and ferroelectric properties of poly (vinylidene fluoride)

The ferroelectric switching behaviour and piezoelectric response of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) prepared by drawing at stretching ratios from 1 to 5 and temperatures from 80 to 140 ºC has been studied. Stretching ratio and temperature deeply influences the α (non ferroelectric) to β (ferroelect...
