Abstract
The surface structure and local piezoelectric response of film samples of P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer and composites based on it were studied by atomic and piezoelectric force microscopy. Lamellar crystals 2.0 × 0.6 μm in size were detected in nominally pure P(VDF-TrFE) samples. Introduction of crystalline ferroelectrics increases the crystalline phase fraction in the polymer matrix and changes the shape and sizes of lamellar crystallites. Hysteresis loops of the local piezoelectric response for composite regions corresponding to the polymer matrix and crystalline ferroelectric inclusions were obtained.
