Abstract
Abstract For the interpretation of piezoelectric relaxation in oriented polymers, a spherical dispersion model is proposed in which piezoelectric spheres are dispersed in a nonpiezoelectric medium. The influence of the dielectric and elastic relaxations in the medium and the sphere on the piezoelectric stress constant and strain-constant is analyzed in detail. The origins of piezoelectric relaxations in oriented poly-γ-methyl-L-glutamate are assigned to the elastic relaxation (at about −70°) and the dielectric relaxation (at about 0°C) in the piezoelectric phase, and the elastic relaxation (at about 100°C) in the non-piezoelectric phase, respectively.
