Abstract

Structure changes in the ferroelectric phase transitions of vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (VDF-TrFE) copolymers were investigated on the basis of a set of experimental data of WAXS, SAXS, IR and Raman measurements. An intimate relation has been clarified between the structural changes in the crystal lattice and the morphological changes. These structural changes were found to originate ultimately from the remarkable change in the molecular conformation between trans and gauche forms. In order to extract the essentially important factors governing this trans-gauche conformational change in the phase transition, the molecular dynamics calculation was carried out, giving relatively good reproduction of the observed structural changes.
