Poled polymers refer to the polymers, normally electroactive/photoactive, that were treated by a poling process.
Poling is a process to orientate and stabilize the molecular dipoles in the polymer under an electric field. This process is essential in order to break the symmetry of the polymer.
The most common poling techniques are electrode poling, corona poling, electron beam poling, and photothermal poling.
Poling introduces a new degree of freedom in the design of polymer-based devices. Through poling, the dipoles can be oriented parallel or perpendicular to the film plane. In addition to the global orientation, selective orientation in the film plane and across the film thickness ...
