CONFINING PVDF IN DYNAMICALLY ASYMMETRIC BLENDS AND ALL-POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITES
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymers are highly appreciated polymers due to their excellent data storage properties. PVDF can crystallize in 4 different phases, unfortunately, neat PVDF films cannot be used for above mentioned applications because they generally crystallize in the non-ferroelectric alpha-phase. Depending always on concentrations and conditions used, PVDF when blended with the miscible poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), may crystallize dominantly in the ferroelectric beta-phase. The modulation of crystallinity and polymorphism of these mixtures is well studied and explained in the literature, however, almost nothing is known about: (i) the structural and dynamic properties of the amorphous regions of this type of nanocomposites, (ii) the relation between the dynamics and the formation of different polymorphic phases and, (iii) the confinement effects observed and reported before for analogous PEO/PMMA-based-SCNPs systems. We propose here to characterize the self-atomic motions of confined amorphous PVDF in nanocomposites with PMMA-based SCNPs and their precursors as reference.
