Abstract

AbstractSome of the piezoelectric coefficients of poly(vinylidene fluoride) are distinctly stress dependent. We report on their dependence on the frequency of an oscillatory stress excitation, on the amount of the remanent polarization in the sample materials, and on the magnitude of an offset stress. In order to explain the observed dynamic and nonlinear piezoelectric properties, a model is developed that attributes them to changes in the local polarization in an interphase between the crystalline and amorphous phases in this semicrystalline polymer.
