From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferroelectric Polymers [1] [2] comprise a group of crystalline polar polymers that are also ferroelectric, meaning that they maintain a permanent electric polarization that can be reversed, or switched, in an external electric field.

Ferroelectric polymers, such as polyvinylidene fluoride(PDVF), are used in acoustic transducers and electromechanical actuators because of their inherent piezoelectric response, and as heat sensors because of their inherent pyroelectric response[3].
