Electroactive tape extrusion : influence of processing conditions on the β-phase content of PVDF samples

Poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, in its polar β-phase, is known to possess strong piezoelectric properties, among polymers. The α phase of PVDF is the most stable phase when the polymer crystallizes from the melt. In this way, the electroactive phase of the material is commonly obtained by inducing...
