STRAIN RECOVERY ELASTICITY IN POLY (VINYLIDENE FLUORIDE) FIBERS

Quantum Modelling of Poly(vinylidene Fluoride)

Multiferroic tunnel junctions with poly(vinylidene fluoride)

Density Functional Theory calculations of the ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride- chlorotrifluoroethylene) copolymer, compared to those of poly(vinylidene fluoride)

The quantum mechanics calculations of the energetics and structures corresponding to the different representatives structural conformations of poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) and poly(vinylidene fluoridechlorotrifluoroethylene) copolymers show that the all-trans, Tp conformation, is energetically stabilized even with a chlorine substituent. The changes in the molecular arrangement as...

Isothermal Melt Crystallization Kinetic Behavior of Poly (vinylidene fluoride)

Isothermal melt crystallization kinetics of PVDF was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Thin PVDF film has been fabricated by the solvent casting technique using dimethylformamide (DMF). Then, the samples were melted and subsequently crystallized in the range of the crystallization temperature (Tc) between 138 and 145 °C. The crystallization kinetics was derived from Avrami equa...

Intermolecular interactions in poly(vinylidene fluoride) and ε- caprolactam mixtures

Mixtures of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and ε−caprolactam (CPL) have been investigated as models for possible cross-interactions between vinylidene fluoride and amide structural units, that might account for the very fine phase morphology previously observed in PVDF/polyamide 6 blends. Over the entire composition range, the PVDF/CPL mixtures are monophase above the PVDF melting temperature...
