For 40 wt.% or more PMMA contents, the blends are completely amorphous. Below this value, they crystallize in the usual Cm2m polar structure of P(VDF-TrFE). The ferroelectric switching characteristics and the dielectric response of the blends demonstrate the formation of dynamically stable ferroelectric domains. Moreover, the blended films are highly transparent in the optical region. Therefore, thin films of these binary blends are good candidates as host materials for nonlinear optical applications.174-177engAmorphous materialsCrystallizationFerroelectric materialsNonlinear opticsPolymethyl methacrylatesBinary blendsDielectric responseFerroelectric domainsFerroelectric switchingPolymer blendsTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/ISE.2005.1612349Acesso aberto2-s2.0-33847698485
