Thermal behaviour and annealing of poly(vinylidene fluoride)

In this study, we report the melting behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF₂) annealed in a differential scanning calorimeter. PVF₂ annealed under isothermal conditions often shows double or triple melting endotherms depending on the annealing temperature (T_a) and the heating rate. The lower melting peak temperature increases as T_a increases. When the annealing time is varied, there is a systematic increase in the size of the lower endotherms. This suggests that a portion of the main endothermic response is due to reorganization during the scan. Annealing PVF₂ not only increases the degree of crystallinity, but also improves the crystal perfection. The ability of an annealing sample to reorganize decreases as the annealing time increases. However, an additional third melting peak appears when PVF₂ is annealed at 140°C for a sufficiently long time. The existence of this peak suggests that more than one kind of distribution of crystal perfection may occur when PVF₂ is quenched from the melt into liquid nitrogen and subsequently annealed.     

Morphology and melting behaviour of poly(vinylidene fluoride) crystallized from the melt

The influence of crystallization temperature on the melting behaviour and the morphology of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF₂) has been investigated. The DSC endotherms of PVF₂ crystallized from the melt show at least two peaks. The peak areas depend on the thermal history of the samples and the heating scan rate. The area of the first peak was found to increase as the crystallization temperature or the scan rate increased. The double peak configuration was attributed to a melting–recrystallization process. Electron microscopy supports these results, for which only one type of lamella was found in the spherulitic structure.

COOHMWCNTs‐induced BiFeO3‐poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) composites with enhanced dielectric and ferroelectric properties

In this work, flexible three phase composite films were prepared with surface functionalized multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (f‐MWCNTs) and bismuth ferrite (BiFeO₃;BFO) particles embedded into the poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) matrix via solution casting technique. The properties and the microstructure of prepared composites were investigated using an impedance analyzer and field emission scanning electron microscope. The micro‐structural study showed that the f‐MWCNTs and BFO particles were dispersed homogeneously within the PVDF matrix, nicely seated on the floor of the f‐MWCNTs separately. The dielectric measurement result shows that the resultant composites with excellent dielectric constant (≈96) and relatively lower dielectric loss (<0.23 at 100 Hz). Furthermore, the percolation theory is explored to explain the dielectric properties of the resultant composites. It says that the percolation threshold of f_MWCNTs = 0.9 wt % and the enhancement of the dielectric constant of the composite was also discussed. In addition, the remnant polarization of the un‐poled PVDF‐BFO‐f‐MWCNTs composites (2P_r ～1.34 µC/cm² for 1.1 wt % of f‐MWCNTs) is also improved. These three phase composites provide a new insight to fabricate flexible and enhanced dielectric properties as a promising application in modern electrical and electronic devices. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
