Temperature-sensing behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) film
In this work, we present the temperature-sensing responses of poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)], a ferroelectric material. This P(VDF-TrFE) was used to investigate its response within the temperature range of 30 to 60 degrees C. The impedance and capacitance responses were recorded for different temperature values using an LCR meter at variable frequencies, and the resulting measurements proved the high sensitivity of the proposed device. A comparative study was performed to find the best responsive P(VDF-TrFE) weight-percent solution for different temperature ranges. The sensor responded continuously and linearly with high sensitivity.
