Abstract

P(VDF-CTFE) based nanocomposites were prepared by mixing the polymer with carbon nanotube (CNT) or C60 using solution cast method. The volume fraction of the CNT or C60 was from 0.1 % to 1.0%. The influence of CNT and C60 on the crystallization behavior of P(VDF-CTFE) was determined using XRD and DSC as well as the P-E loop. It is found that the CNT or C60 enhances the β-phase and the crystallinity. The crystallinity process in the composites was studied using DSC.
