Piezotech® FC Inks

Piezotech® FC Inks
Standard Piezotech® FC Inks are formulated with Piezotech® FC20 polymer powder.
Specific inks can be formulated upon request.
​P(VDF-TrFE) powders are available in a variety of VDF/TrFE ratios: FC20 (20% TrFE), FC25 (25% TrFE), FC30 (30% TrFE) and FC45 (45% TrFE).
Piezotech® FC

Piezotech® FC
P(VDF-TrFE) copolymers, named Piezotech® FC, exhibit high piezoelectric responses over a wide range of temperatures in their poled ferroelectric phase:
-
High thermal stability of the piezoelectric properties
-
Low power consumption: external power source unnecessary
-
Good mechanical properties
-
High coupling factor
-
Wide frequency range
-
Transparency
-
Chemical resistance
-
High dielectric strength
Compared to PVDF homopolymer, these materials display several advantages:
-
Upper thermal stability (80 °C for PVDF versus 130°C for Piezotech® FC20)
-
Improved coupling factor (0.15 for PVDF versus 0.3 for P(VDF-TrFE))
-
Printable
-
Enhanced piezoelectric properties (higher d33)
Relaxor-ferroelectric and High-k Terpolymers

Piezotech® RT
Additional CTFE or CFE monomer units are introduced into the well-organized VDF-TrFE chains, which improve dipole mobility, and thus induce unique relaxor ferroelectric properties.
P(VDF-TrFE-CTFE) or P(VDF-TrFE-CFE) are unique relaxor ferroelectric polymers that exhibit high electrostrictive strain and high dielectric constants.
-
High deformation (directly proportional to the applied electric field squared, E²)
-
High elastic energy
-
High stress.
