摘要
We report the results of x-ray diffraction studies on phase transition behavior of irradiated poly(vinylidene-fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] copolymer. It is found that the transformations between the polar ferroelectric phase, the metastable paraelectric phase, and normal paraelectric phase induced by thermal and electric field are reversible. The reversible phase transition of the metastable paraelectric phase is very important to explain the appearance of giant strain in the irradiated P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer. The macroscopic strain caused by these reversible transitions was estimated. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
