Abstract

AbstractThis paper explores both physical ageing of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers with hexafluoropropylene (HFP). Water ageing and annealing are shown to have a negligible influence on mechanical properties. Chemical ageing is thus expected to be the main source of long‐term degradation. The nature of associated chemical trackers is discussed but it seems clear that their fraction is very slow for low temperature thermal ageing.
