This article offers a short overview of the unique properties of PVDF-based electroactive polymers and their applications. Ferroelectric materials are widely used in modern electronics. Relaxor-ferroelectric terpolymers are multifunctional materials with high electrostrictive strain which, in turn, leads to large actuation capability. The terpolymer with clorofluoroethylene shows relaxor-ferroelectric behavior with vanishing hysteresis effect but considerably higher polarization. Therefore, such material is a potential candidate for energy-storage devices (supercapacitors).
