Abstract

The linear and nonlinear dielectrical and depolarization processes of the copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene have been measured. The D vs. E hysteresis loop below room temperature indicates the ferroelectricity of this copolymer. The dielectric anomaly and the disappearance of remnant polarization at T0=70°C suggest that T0 is the phase transition temperature from the ferroelectricity to the paraelectricity phase. Results are analyzed on the basis of Weiss-type semimolecular theory.
