Abstract:A semicrystalline polymer with high piezo-, pyro-, and
ferroelectric
characteristics, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) offers exciting
possibilities in various applications. The semicrystalline structure
of PVDF is composed of several phases including α, β,
θ, γ, and ε phases. β phase polymorphs of
PVDF exhibit the highest piezoelectric properties, which can be enhanced
through different processing methods. This study aims to investigate
the β phase transformation of PVDF through different processes/treatment
