Electric-field-induced phase changes in poly(vinylidene fluoride)
Abstract
The antipolar crystal form of poly(vinylidene fluoride) can be made piezoelectric and pyroelecric by the temporary application of electric fields in excess of 1 MV/cm at room temperature. Infrared and x-ray diffraction data reveal that the polarization occurs in two stages. At fields near 1 MV/cm, a phase transition to a polar form II occurs with presumably no change in chain conformation. Fields near 5 MV/cm cause a change in conformation to produce form I. Our results indicate that at least a portion of the residual polarization occurs within the crystal phase of the polymer.

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.
