This article investigates the effects of solvent polarity and salt addition on β-phase poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) formation. Films were solvent cast in aprotic solvents of varying polarities with or without salt addition. Characterization was done by Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy,...
