Abstract

AbstractThe influence of crystallization temperature on the melting behaviour and the morphology of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2) has been investigated. The DSC endotherms of PVF2 crystallized from the melt show at least two peaks. The peak areas depend on the thermal history of the samples and the heating scan rate. The area of the first peak was found to increase as the crystallization temperature or the scan rate increased. The double peak configuration was attributed to a melting–recrystallization process. Electron microscopy supports these results, for which only one type of lamella was found in the spherulitic structure.
