Piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity in polyvinylidene fluoride—A model
Abstract
A description is given of the molecular and morphological structure of polyvinylidene fluoride and from this description a classical model is proposed for calculating the piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties. The model consists of an array of crystal lamellae with a net moment from aligned dipoles in the crystals and compensating space charge on the crystal surfaces. The results for no compensation and complete compensation essentially bracket experimentally observed results and indicate that the largest contribution to the activity of this polymer arises from bulk dimensional changes rather than from changes in molecular dipole moments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
