Ferroelectric Polarization Switching in Nylon 11
Abstract
Cold drawn nylon 11 films, which were prepared by stretching the melt quenched films to a draw ratio of 2.8:1 at room temperature, were found to exhibit an electric displacement vs. electric field hysteresis loop. The results confirmed that the nylon 11 film exhibited ferroelectric behavior at room temperature or lower. The coercive fields were 65, 98, 125, 160 and 215 MV/m at 20, 0, -20, -40 and -60 deg C and the remanent polarization at -20 deg C (where there was considerably less dc conduction) was 56 mC/m2. Switching of the polarization was almost completed within 20 ms.
