Popis: Over the last half century, the existence of an additional thermal transition in between the glass transition and the Curie/melting transition has been frequently observed on vinylidenefluoride-based ferro-, pyro- and piezoelectric homo- and co-polymers. The transition has also been observed recently in some of the related relaxor-ferroelectric terpolymers. Despite its well-known existence and the rich history of its treatment in the literature, the origin(s) and a more or less complete picture of the mid-temperature transition have remained elusive until now. Over the years, several authors have put forth various explanations for the so-called mid-temperature transition — some complementary and some contradictory to each other. At the 17th IEEE International Symposium on Electrets (ISE-17) in Limerick, Ireland, in September 2019, the mysterious mid-temperature transition and its possible mechanism(s) became the subject of a panel discussion a) to mark the Golden Jubilee of the discovery of piezoelectricity in polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) by Heiji Kawai of Kobayashi Institute of Physical Research, Japan, as well as the Centennial of the first recognition of ferroelectricity in piezoelectric Seignette's or Rochelle salt. The panel put forward a new hypothesis that the mid-temperature transition is most likely a result of several interrelated processes that take place within the respective temperature range. The relevant processes include an upper glass transition or relaxation, a relaxation related to conformational disorder, possible imperfect/time-dependent structures formed as a result of thermal processing and secondary crystallization, as well as interface polarization effects at crystalline-amorphous boundaries. The article captures the essence of the panel discussion and the perspectives obtained therefrom to elucidate the complex mid-temperature transition in vinylidenefluoride-based ferro-, pyro- and piezoelectric homo-, co- and ter-polymers.
