Since the permanent dipoles in PVDF are orientational in nature, it is generally considered that both charging and discharging processes should be time and poling history dependent. Intriguingly, our experimental results showed that the charging process depended heavily on the cycle time and the prior poling history, and thus the D-E hysteresis loops had different shapes accordingly. However, the discharged energy density did not change no matter how the D-E loop shape varied due to different measurements. This experimental result could be explained in terms of reversible and irreversible polarizations. The reversible polarization could be charged and discharged fairly quickly (〈 5 ms for each process), while the irreversible polarization depended heavily on the poling time and the prior poling history. This study suggests that it is only meaningful to compare the discharged energy density for PVDF and its copolymer films when different cycle times and poling histories are used.展开更多

A benzophenone-potassium complex was added to tune the reactivity ratio of the two monomers, leading to random and gradient composition alonglthe copolymer chain. The overall composition and microstructure could be controlled and well characterized by GPC and H-NMR. The p-MS was distributed from gradient to random with increasing the content of the benzophenone-potassium complex, and the 1,2-microstrucmre in the polybutadiene sequence increased at the same time. The hydrogenation of the copolymer of 1,3-butadiene and p-MS resulted in the corresponding saturated copolymer with well- defined structure and narrow molecular weight distribution.展开更多
