Research abstract

PYROELECTRIC POLYMERS WILL BE USED IN THE DIRECT CONVERSION OF HEAT INTO ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN SPACE SYSTEMS. THESE MATERIALS WILL BE MANUFACTURED AT LOW-COST AND PROVIDE AN ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT MEANS OF GENERATING ELECTRICAL POWER. PYROELECTRICS WILL ALSO BE USED IN SAFE HEAT PUMPS AND REFRIGERATORS. THE PHASE I OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE A MEANS FOR FORMING PYROELECTRIC POLYMER FILMS WITH MECHANICAL PROPERTIES THAT ARE SUPERIOR TO THOSE OF FILMS PRESENTLY AVAILABLE. THE ENHANCED MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THESE FILMS WILL GREATLY IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF PYROELECTRIC GENERATORS, HEAT PUMPS AND REFRIGERATORS.
