A study on hysteresis and temperature properties of VDF/TrFe copolymer

VDF/TrFE 공중합체의 히스테리시스 및 온도특성

D-E hysteresis loops have been measured for the 65/35 mole % copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene over wide temperature range. The remanent polarization and the coercive field at room temperature were estimated to be 75 mC/m$^{2}$ and 55 MV/m respectively. D-E hysteresis loops were observed even below the glass transition temperature(-20.deg. C) and the remanent polarization and the coercive field were larger, as the temperature lower. It seems that the remanent polarization and the coercive field depend on the amorphous region as well as crystalline region in this copolymer. And the ferroelectric-to-paraelectric phase transition was observed at 90.deg. C on heating and 80'C on cooling. Double hysteresis loops were observed at the temperature(85.deg. C) of paraelectric phase.
