Abstract

Measurements of the temperature dependent microwave dielectric permittivity of PVDF and 60%–40% VDF-TrFE copolymer are presented. A cavity perturbation method is used. At room temperature a surprisingly high absorption of microwave power is observed, which decreases with decreasing temperature. This behavior seems to be connected with the ferroelectric-to-para-electric phase transition. With the copolymers a dependence of the complex permittivity on annealing temperature is found. A model considering paraelectric fluctuations is proposed.
