Abstract
A mechanism for the poling of α‐phase poly(vinylidene fluoride) into its polar form is studied in which a 180° twist or kink is propagated along a chain. Results are obtained by analytical approximation and by computer experiment for the field and temperature dependence of the poling time. Intrachain and interchain potentials used in this calculation are obtained by conformational analysis. The results are compared with experimental data.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
