Abstract

The tgtg′ conformation of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is ∼0.5–0.7 kcal mol−1 monomer−1 more stable than the all-trans conformation as calculated by molecular mechanics. For vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene copolymer compositions < ∼90 mol% vinylidene fluoride, the all-trans conformation is more stable. For PVDF, crystal packing calculations support the distorted tgtg′ conformation predicted by X-ray crystallography.
