Abstract

Carbon nanofiber (CNF)/polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoro propylene (PVDF-HFP) composite film was prepared by solution casting and melt pressing. The resultant 2 % CNF/PVDF-HFP composite films were uniaxially drawn at 50 °C, 75 °C, and 100 °C, respectively. In the SEM images, the morphology of drawn CNF/PVDF-HFP composite film confirmed the orientation of the CNF and the polymer matrix. The WAXD results showed the coexistence crystal phase of PVDF-HFP. The drawn CNF/PVDF-HFP composite film demonstrates improved electrical properties. The DSC thermogram results indicated no change in the melting temperature but slightly increased crystallinity with increasing drawing temperature. Dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile test showed an improvement in the storage modulus and stress at a drawing temperature of 75 °C.
