P(VDF-co-TrFE) Comonomer inclusion Crystallization kinetics SSA fractionation Self-nucleation This article belongs to the Collection State-of-the-Art Macromolecules in Spain. In this contribution, we study the effect of trifluoro ethylene (TrFE) comonomer content (samples with 80/20, 75/25, and 70/30 VDF/TrFE molar ratios were used) on the crystallization in P(VDF-co-TrFE) in comparison with a PVDF (Poly(vinylidene fluoride)) homopolymer. Employing Polarized Light Optical Microscopy (PLOM), the growth rates of spherulites or axialites were determined. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used to determine overall crystallization rates, self-nucleation, and Successive Self-nucleation and Annealing (SSA) thermal fractionation. The ferroelectric character of the samples was explored by polarization measurements. The results indicate that TrFE inclusion can limit the overall crystallization of the copolymer samples, especially for the ones with 20 and 25% TrFE. Self-nucleation measurements in PVDF indicate that the homopolymer can be self-nucleated, exhibiting the classic three Domains. However, the increased nucleation capacity in the copolymers provokes the absence of the self-nucleation Domain II. The PVDF displays a monomodal distribution of thermal fractions after SSA, but the P(VDF-co-TrFE) copolymers do not experience thermal fractionation, apparently due to TrFE incorporation in the PVDF crystals. Finally, the maximum and remnant polarization increases with increasing TrFE content up to a maximum of 25% TrFE content, after which it starts to decrease due to the lower dipole moment of the TrFE defect inclusion within the PVDF crystals.
