Abstract
The effects of swift (E = 11 MeV/u) carbon ion irradiation on the Curi e transition in poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) or P(VF2-F (3)E) with a molar VF2 content of 70% and 80% have been investigated. Wide angle X-ray diffraction and dielectric measurements show that the irradiation lowers the Curie temperatures either on heating or on coo ling especially in the 70/30 mol% samples. Ion irradiation of the beta phase of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2 beta) does not lead to an ob servable Curie transition below the melting point.
