Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is a kind of semicrystalline organic polymer piezoelectric material. Adopting processes such as melting crystallization and solution casting, undergoing post-treatment annealing, stretching, polarization, PVDF films with high crystallinity response level can be realized. As material, shows excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability biocompatibility, li...

Since the discovery of piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) 50 years ago, ferroelectric polymers have established their own areas for research and applications due to unique properties comparison single crystals inorganics. PVDF is a semicrystalline polymer that can crystallize into five different polymorphs. Among them, polar ?-phase most interesting one electroactive because i...

• PVDF laser ablation mass loss increases linearly with time after induction period. HF and polymer backbone destruction occur. Double bonds, cumulated double triple bonds form in the backbone. Fine ∼100 nm powder dendritic structures on ablation. G3MP2 calculations support mechanism of followed by cleavage. The kinetics infrared poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) vacuum have been investigated to...
