Mechanism of Pyroelectricity in Polyvinylidene Fluoride Films.

Abstract

The objectives of this study were the exploration of the mechanisms(s) of pyroelectricity in polymers in order to achieve the highest possible pyroelectric coefficients with polar polymers, a determination of whether or not polyvinylidene fluoride (PVF2) is an optimum material in this regard, and a determination of means of improving the performances of these polymeric pyroelectrics. This report contains the results of this study. (Author)
