Simulation of dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride)

The dynamic Monte-Carlo method for three-dimensional lattice model of rotators with anisotropic intra- and interchain interactions of dipole type is used to investigate dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) in β-phase. Hysteresis curves are calculated. It is shown that the area of hysteresis curve in strong electric fields increases with the increase of interchain interactions.
