In-situ synchrotron SAXS and WAXS investigations on deformation and α–β transformation of uniaxial stretched poly(vinylidene fluoride)

Read how Linkam’s mechanical testing system was used to study the crystalline structure evolution of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) during tensile deformation at 60 °C, 140 °C and 160 °C, i.e. between the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the melting temperature (Tm), was investigated by in-situ synchrotron SAXS and WAXS techniques.
