Both poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF 2 ) and nylon 11 are ferroelectric polymers, and have been extensively studied over the past two decades. Blend films were made from mixed powders of these two polymers, which were then melt pressed and cold drawn. The ferroelectric properties of these blend films

Abstract
The oriented crystallization of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in stretched films of a PVDF/nylon 11 blend was investigated. At low crystallization temperature the cβaxis of the PVDF Ξ±βform was oriented to the orientation axis of the nylon 11 matrix, but cβaxis orientation gradually changed to aβaxis orientation upon increasing the crystallization temperature. Under all crystallization conditions studied, considerable amounts of PVDF in its Ξ²βform with cβaxis orientation were produced as well.
Phase morphology of a stretched film of PVDF/nylon 11 blend observed with confocal laser scanning microscopy.

## Abstract Selfβseeded crystallization experiments were carried out to detect the mechanism of the unique orientation behavior of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) in oriented PVDF/nylon 11 blends. It was found that primary nuclei have no effects on the final orientation textures adopted by PVDF. T
Dielectric properties of polymer blends based on PVDF and two amorphous polymers, i.e. poly(vinyl acetate) and poly(methyl methacrylate), have been studied at different frequencies in the temperature range between -150 and +150 8C. The novelty of this work lies in the way of planning the polymer bl
