Polymers with strong piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity are attractive for a wide range of applications. In particular, semicrystalline ferroelectric polymers are suitable for a large variety of piezo- and pyroelectric transducers or sensors, while amorphous polymers containing chromophore molecules are particularly interesting for photonic devices. Recently, a new class of polymer materials has been added to this family: internally charged cellular space-charge polymer electrets (so-called “ferroelectrets”), whose piezoelectricity can be orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional ferroelectric polymers. Suitable patterning of these materials leads to improved or unusual macroscopic piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectric or nonlinear optical properties that may be particularly useful for advanced transducer or waveguide applications. In the present paper, the piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity of poled polymers is briefly introduced, an overview on the preparation of polymer electrets with patterned piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity is provided and a survey of selected applications is presented.

FIG.4
Schematic view of piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectric polymer electrets. (a) In semicrystalline ferroelectric polymers, ferroelectric crystallites are dispersed in the amorphous matrix. Space charges trapped at the interfaces between crystallites and amorphous matrix compensate and stabilize the ferroelectric polarization (Ref. 1). (b) Amorphous polymers for photonics applications contain chromophore molecules with large hyperpolarizabilities and large dipole moments (Ref. 1). (c) A new member of the family of piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectric polymer electrets: internally charged nonpolar cellular polymers with very high piezoelectricity. Charges of opposite sign are deposited on the internal top and bottom surfaces of the voids so that the charged voids can be considered as macroscopic dipoles.

Geometry of a periodically poled NLO polymer waveguide fabricated by electron-beam irradiation. The sample, spin-coated on a glass slide with a transparent ITO electrode, is irradiated by means of an electron-beam lithography system. The electron-beam irradiation is used to erase the microscopic hyperpolarizability of the chromophores within the exposed area. It may also be used to depolymerize the host polymer or to modify its Tg within the exposed area, allowing the fabrication of ridge-type optical channel waveguides of high quality in a corona or a two-step poling process (Ref. 80).
