DSC studies on the transitions in poly(vinylidenefluoride) and some related copolymers

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The transition properties of poly(vinylidenefluoride) and of some related copolymers, either semicrystalline or amorphous, were studied by differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range from 200 K to 500 K. The amorphous copolymers exhibit a single glass transition. Melting endotherms and a lower glass transition [Tg(L)] are systematically observed in the semi-crystalline materials as well as an upper glass transition [Tg(U)] for certain thermal and mechanical histories of the samples. Conditions for [Tg(U)] existence are related to solid state morphology of the macromolecules and loop length in the folded chains.
