Microstructural variations of poly(vinylidene fluoride co-hexafluoropropylene) and their influence on the thermal, dielectric and piezoelectric properties

Polymer films and membranes of poly(vinylidene fluoride co-hexafluoropropylene), PVDF-HFP, have been prepared by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), allowing the tuning of microstructure and morphology. The obtained microstructure is explained by the Flory-Huggins theory, depending on polymer...
