Sommario/riassunto

The complex dielectric permittivity of vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer with 20 mol% of TrFE [P(VDF-TrFE) 80/20] has been measured over the frequency range of 500 kHz to 20 MHz at temperatures varying from 20° to 100 °C. This copolymer has the highest electromechanical coupling coefficient k[sub t] among all TrFE compositions and has thus attracted considerable interest in ultrasonic transducer applications. The effect of dielectric relaxation on the performance of VDF-TrFE transducers is discussed.
