This document discusses using extrusion-calendering and thermo-compression processes to control the crystallization of PVDF/PMMA blends into the polar beta phase for applications in sensors, actuators, and energy harvesters. Extrusion-calendering at high cooling rates was found to produce the beta phase with only 5% PMMA content, while thermo-compression at lower cooling rates required 25-30% PMMA. The crystallization behavior was analyzed using flash DSC, FTIR, and WAXS techniques. Tuning the dielectric properties from ferroelectric to relaxor/antiferroelectric behavior may be possible with these processing methods.
