Effect of Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) Treatment on the Dielectric Properties of Poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)-Based Copolymer

Understanding the mechanism of dielectric breakdown is important for improving the breakdown field of a polymer. In this work, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) treatment was applied to one surface of P(VDF-CTFE) (vinylidene fluoride-chlorotrifluoroethylene) film, and the dielectric properties of t...
