Abstract
High-rate quenching at lower temperatures will result in the formation of β-phase microcrystals in PVF2-PMMA blends with low PMMA contents directly from their melts. Annealing at higher temperature (120°C) promotes the growth of β phase. Almost pure β-phase crystallization in thin films of the blends could be obtained by this procedure. The morphology of the blends quenched and then annealed is similar to that of pure PVF2.
