ESR Studies of Fast Electron Irradiated Ferroelectric Poly(Vinylidene Fluoride)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiation-induced functionalization of ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) was studied by ESR spectroscopy. The samples were irradiated in the high vacuum of a Van de Graaff accelerator with 1.0 MeV and 1.5 MeV electrons at room temperature and the decay of free radicals was studied after transferring the samples into the air. The samples exhibit a multicomponent ESR spectrum that can be decomposed into: a large asymmetric signal in the centre related to peroxy radicals, a quintet with hyperfine splitting AF = 4.3 mT centred at g = 2.004, assigned to the in-chain radical (–CF2–C •H–CF2–), and a triplet due to an end-chain (–C•H2) radical with AH = 1.6 mT and g = 2.009.

The effect of high-energy electron irradiation on poly~vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene! 80/20 mol % copolymers has been studied in a broad dose ranging from 0 to 120 Mrad. It was found that the copolymers transformed from a normal ferroelectric to a relaxor ferroelectric phase ~RFE! at high electron doses. For copolymers irradiated at the dose above 90 Mrad, they exhibited typical dielect...

The discovery of the piezoelectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) by Kawai [Kawai, 1969], and the study of its pyroelectric and nonlinear optical properties [Bergman et al., 1971; Glass, 1971] led to the discovery of its ferroelectric properties in the early 1970s. Since that time, considerable development and progress have been made on both materials and devices based on PVDF. ...

We discuss the interactions of adsorbates with the organic ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride (PVDF)–trifluoroethylene (TrFE)). Range of molecular adsorbates is discussed from the smaller polar molecules like water, which is small enough to both adsorb and absorb, to the larger macrocyclic metal–organic metal phthalocyanines. The changes in local dipole orientation may affect the ...
