Abstract

We compare water adsorption and desorption on ferroelectric copolymer poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene), and the dipole ordered polymer poly(methylvinylidene cyanide). The angle-resolved thermal desorption spectra prove that the absorbed water species interacts more strongly with poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) than with poly(methylvinylidene cyanide). The angle resolved thermal desorption spectra shows large deviations from the cosn θ distribution for light illuminated poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene). Water desorption from poly(methylvinylidene cyanide) deviates from the cosn θ distribution without illumination.
