Abstract
Poly(vinylidene fluoride)/multiwalled carbon nanotube (PVDF/MWCNT) composites were prepared by the method of solution blending. The non-isothermal crystallization of PVDF and its composites was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the crystallization peaks shifted to lower temperature and the exothermic trace became wider when cooling rate increased for PVDF and its composites. The MWCNTs caused an increase in crystallization temperature and initial crystallization temperature. In addition, the Jeziorny and Mo methods were used to analyze the non-isothermal crystallization kinetics. The results showed that the crystallization rate rose with an increase in cooling rate, however, the MWCNTs decreased the crystallization rates of PVDF.
