Abstract
Polymorphism in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/clay nanocomposites was studied. Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/clay nanocomposites were prepared with melt intercalation. The samples were characterized with Xβray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The nanocomposite exhibited the Ξ² form. Thermal annealing performed at 125 and 185Β°C showed that the Ξ² form of PVDF was stable. The stability of the Ξ² form of PVDF was ascertained from these studies. The Ξ² form of PVDF in the nanocomposites could be due to crystallization in the constrained phase. Β© 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 2036β2040, 2003
