Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) has drawn much attention due to the attractive properties such as piezo-, pyro-, and ferroelectricity, which are rarely exhibited in other polymers. The β phase has the largest spontaneous polarization (p) per unit cell of all polar phases and thus exhibits the high...
