Abstract

A process for preparation of a polymeric piezo-electric material and material prepared by said process are described, wherein said process comprises polarizing a polymeric piezo-electric material by a polarization treatment which comprises PA1 cooling a vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer from a temperature higher than the phase transition temperature of said copolymer which exists between room temperature and the melting point of said copolymer, and either maintaining the temperature range at which said copolymer possesses a maximum in dielectric constant occurs, or cooling gradually through said temperature range, while applying an electric field at least within said temperature range.
