Ga. Lushcheikin et al., THE PROPERTIES OF ELECTRETS AND PIEZOELECTRICS BASED ON THERMOTROPIC LIQUID-CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS WITH MESOGENIC GROUPS IN THE BACKBONE, Vysokomolekularnye soedinenia. Seria A, 40(9), 1998, pp. 1511-1515
Liquid-crystalline (LC) polymeric electrets and piezoelectrics with me
sogenic groups in the backbone were synthesized and characterized. The
samples were obtained on the basis of copolyesters of p-hydroxybenzoi
c acid with PET or with 6,2-hydroxynaphthoic acid. It is demonstrated
that these polymers provide the obtaining of highly stable electrets a
nd piezoelements with a piezoelectric modulus of 15-2 pC/N. Piezoelect
rics made of a polymer based on 6,2-hydroxynaphthoic acid are superior
to the piezoelectrics made of the PET-based copolyester with respect
to time stability and working temperature interval.
