Ferroelectric polymers, in particular polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers, offer an attractive combination of properties such as relatively high spontaneous polarization, piezoelectricity, chemically inert behavior, electrical strength, and durability. Recently, attention of researchers has more and more often been attracted to objects simultaneously having properties of polymers and classical ferroelectrics. Such objects are composite films based on polymeric materials with addition of ferroelectrics, e. g. barium lead zirconate titanate (BPZT).
In this work, we report on local ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of nanostructured polymer composites P(VDF-TrFE)+xBPZT (x = 0 - 50 %). High-resolution imaging of ferroelectric domains, local polarization switching, and polarization relaxation dynamics were studied by piezoresponse force microscopy. In particular, we found that BPZT inclusion usually show a strong unipolar piezoresponse signal, as compared to the polymer matrix. By scanning under high dc voltage films can be polarized uniformly under both positive and negative electric fields. Stabilty of the polarized state is discussed.
