Abstract: Deformation process and phase transition of the oriented films of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2) have been investigated by electron microscopy,electron diffraction and FTIR. The films prepared by a melt drawn technique contain highly oriented larnellae, which predominantly consist of a phase. During the course of stretching the fibrillar crystals are formed,accompanied by a α→β phase transition. Increasing deformation temperature is of no advantage to the α→β phase transition.

Key words: poly(vinylidene fluoride), morphology, crystal phase
