Abstract
Strain-mediated magnetoelectric coupling strongly depends on the morphology of ferroelectric and ferromagnetic domains in composite materials. The unique self-assembling properties of block copolymers can be used to control the morphology. For this purpose, we aimed for the synthesis of ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) containing block copolymers. Trichloromethyl- and phenyl methylchloride-terminated PVDF macroinitiators were used to initiate the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene (S), 4-vinylpyridine (4VP) and tert-butylmethacrylate (tBMA). The use of these monomers facilitate the preparation of a nanoporous ferroelectric network, which can be backfilled subsequently by a ferromagnetic material. Furthermore, the kinetics were studied extensively to investigate the controlled behavior of these reactions.
