CM5755 Piezoelectric FC Sheet P(VDF-TrFE)

Piezoelectric FC Plate P(VDF-TrFE) Description

Piezoelectric FC Plates P(VDF-TrFE) are a specific type of piezoelectric material, composed of a copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and trifluoroethylene (TrFE). These plates are recognised for their enhanced piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties compared to standard PVDF.

P(VDF-TrFE): This is a copolymer made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) and TrFE (trifluoroethylene). The copolymerisation improves the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the material.

The P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer exhibits higher piezoelectric constants when compared to pure PVDF, making it more responsive to mechanical stress and allowing for more efficient conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy (and vice versa). The material possesses ferroelectric properties, meaning it can retain its polarisation state after the removal of an external electric field. This attribute is beneficial for applications such as non-volatile memory devices. Piezotech FC Plates maintain the flexibility and mechanical strength of PVDF, making them suitable for flexible electronic applications and environments where longevity is essential. Similar to PVDF, the P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer is resistant to chemicals, acids, and bases, and can withstand high temperatures, ensuring long-term stability and reliability in various settings.
