poling

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.08857
Orientation of dipoles or dipolar domains inside a material by using a sufficiently strong electric field.
Note:
Poling is usually achieved by applying a high strength electric field to the opposite surfaces of a polymer film to obtain piezoelectric polymer or ferroelectric polymer.
