Abstract

Dielectric measurements have been made at frequencies from 10 Hz to 100 kHz and temperatures from 4 K to at least 300 K on a number of polymers containing units of hexafluoropropylene (HFP). These included copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and HFP, the homopolymer of HFP, elastomeric copolymers of HFP and vinylidene fluoride, and alternating copolymers of methyl vinyl ether with TFE and HFP. The effect of an ether linkage between the CF3 group and the chain was also considered. Most of these polymers exhibited a main chain local mode relaxation near 228 K and a side group relaxation near 93 K.
