Relaxor Ferroelectric Polymers.

The relaxor ferroelectric polymers, i.e., the poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] based terpolymers and high energy electron irradiated copolymers, provide unique opportunity to investigate the ferroelectric relaxor behavior in polymeric materials. Experimental evidence shows that there is fundamental difference in the microstructures between the relaxor terpolymer and relaxor irradiated copolymer even though both exhibit similar macroscopic ferroelectric relaxor response.
