| Summary: | Ferroelectric materials have a wide range of applications in sensors, actuators and
nonvolatile memory devices due to their excellent properties. A better understanding
of the properties and physical phenomena in ferroelectric materials can help us further
improve their performance in device applications.
In this work, two PVDF-based polymers investigated were namely, the
poly(vinylidene fluoride) homopolymer (PVDF) as well as the poly(vinylidene
fluoride/trifluoroethylene) copolymer P(VDF-TrFE). PVDF homopolymer samples
were fabricated using the spin-coating method and the P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer
samples were prepared using the horizontal dipping Langmuir-Blodgett method. |
