Annotation
Dielectric dispersion is studied in films made of vinylidene fluoride/trifluoroethylene copolymer [P(VDF/TrFE)], which are obtained by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique in the temperature range from ${-}$90 to ${+}$132$^0$C. The thickness of the films studied is ${\sim}$7 nm. A glass transition is observed in the temperature range from −40 to −50°C; this indicates the presence of an amorphous phase in the ultrathin Langmuir-Blodgett films.
