Abstract

The hypersonic behavior of a vinylidene fluoride and trifluoroethylene (70/30 mol %) copolymer has been investigated by Brillouin scattering without using index matching liquid. Both the glass and ferroelectric transitions are clearly seen in the acoustic behavior. The home-prepared sample has excellent optical properties and let us obtain sound attenuation information in the temperature range of 23–123 °C, which another investigator did not discuss because of the bad optical properties of the sample surface. Anomalies of sound attenuation near the transition point have been observed.
