The study on the effect of plasticizer on the properties of PVDF films
A systematic study was carried out to investigate the effect of plasticizers on the properties of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin films. PVDF thin films of concentrations 5 wt% and 10 wt% were fabricated and it was observed that N, N Dimethylformamide (DMF) solution is able to completely dissolv...
