Phase Transitions of Polarised PVDF Films in a Standard Curing Process for Composites

The article reports on the influence of annealing PVDF in an autoclave process on the PVDF phase composition. DSC, FTIR and XRD measurements serve to observe the phase changes in an already stretched, polarised and β-phase rich film. Annealing was conducted between 90 and 185 <inline-formula>&...
