AI Technical Summary
Ferroelectric materials often lack sufficient strength, formability, and stability for specific applications, and reinforcing materials can negatively affect electrical performance or fail to stably bond with electrodes.
A ferroelectric article comprising a composite film with a ferroelectric material durably bonded to a polymer-reinforced film, providing mechanical reinforcement for thin, strong, and durable films with improved electroactivity, allowing for higher polarization at lower drive voltages and facilitating additional processing steps.
The composite film enables the production of thinner, stronger ferroelectric articles with enhanced electroactivity, improving handling and enabling additional processing steps while maintaining electrical performance.
