Study on the pyroelectric properties of TGS-PVDF composites

Abstract
TGS-PVDF composite has been prepared in our laboratory and its dielectric and pyroelectric properties were analyzed. The dielectric constants, dielectric losses and pyroelectric coefficients of this composite with different component proportions have been measured, and their variations with temperature were observed. In addition, the figure of merit M has also been calculated. The D* value of the pyroelectric devices made from this composite even reach (5–7) × 107 cm · Hz1/2 · W−1 . The results have shown that TGS-PVDF composite has bright prospects in applications as a pyroelectric composite material.
