Abstract

Poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene chlorofluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)) terpolymer nanorods embedded in Anodic Alumina Oxide( AAO) templates with pore sizes of 25, 70, and 200nm diameter were fabricated by extending the time of the wetting process. The instability of the wetting process induced the terpolymer infiltration into the inner space of tepolymer nanotubes, which formed mostly filled terpolymer nanorods. It was observed that all these nanorods embedded in AAO templates still possess relaxor ferroelectric behavior. The broad dielectric peak shifts progressively to higher temperatures with increasing frequency and the frequency- permittivity peak temperature fits well with the Vogel-Fulcher (V-F) relation. Moreover, the freezing temperature of the V-F relation is reduced, with the reduction of nanorod diameter. This indicates that the lateral confinement of the nanorods influences the relaxor ferroelectric behavior of the relaxor ferroelectric P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) terpolymer.
