Crystallization of polymers in the presence of electric fields

Abstract

The influence of the external constant and alternating electric field on the crystallization from melt has been studied for poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(vinylidene fluoride). No real effect has been found. The orientation of crystals due to the external constant electric field has been established in one of the two liquid crystal polymers studied. The results point out that the external electric field could only influence the crystallization of species having very large resultant dipole moment.
