Does the nature of chemically grafted polymer onto PVDF decide the extent of electroactive β-polymorph?

PVDF, one of the most versatile fluoropolymers, is inert and is difficult to functionalize using conventional approaches. Herein, we attempted a facile and one-pot modification of PVDF via ozonization process. The ozone treated PVDF facilitates in harnessing suitable functional moieties. Using this strategy, two copolymers were designed to achieve crystalline-amorphous and crystalline-crystalline grafts. Their effects on phase transformation,...
