Abstract:
From thermal desorption studies, we find evidence that absorbed water in the bulk of poly(methylvinylidene cyanide) is more weakly bound than is the case for copolymer films of poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene). Ultraviolet laser enhanced thermal desorption of absorbed water exhibits little light polarization dependence for poly(methylvinylidene cyanide) in contrast to absorbed water in copolymer films of poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene). The implications of these differences are discussed.

Electric Dipoles and Dipole Moment
Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
