Abstract

In this paper, the microwave irradiation process was conducted during the Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nano-composite film fabrication process to analyze how the β-crystalline is increased. TiO2 was added as a nanoparticle reinforcement to further improve the β-crystalline conformation of the PVDF films by van der Waals force due to the difference of electronegativity between PVDF and the metal oxide nanoparticle. The crystalline conformation of the fabricated films was analyzed by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. According to these analysis results, it was confirmed that the microwave irradiation process during the solvent evaporation process increases the crystallinity of the PVDF films, and more β-crystalline can be obtained after additional film stretching process. It was also found that the PVDF nano-composite films with the metal oxide have relatively higher β-crystalline conformation rather than the neat PVDF films.

본 연구에서는 Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) 필름 제작 과정 중 마이크로웨이브 처리 과정을 도입하여 β 결정성 향상에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 또한, 나노 입자 보강제로써 금속산화물인 TiO2를 혼합하여 PVDF 복합재료 필름을 만들어, 전기적 음성도 차이로 인한 반데르발스 힘을 통해 β 결정 형성을 추가적으로 향상시키려고하였다. FTIR과 XRD 분석을통하여해당필름시편들에대해결정화도(Crystallinity) 및결정성(Crystalline)을 분석하였다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로, 용매 증발 과정 중 마이크로웨이브 처리 과정이 PVDF 필름의 결정화도를 높여주는 것을 확인하였고, 추가적인 연신(Stretching) 공정을 통해 α 결정에서 β 결정 변화(Crystalline phase change)가 발생함으로써 결과적으로 더 많은 β 결정성을 나타내었다. 그리고 금속산화물을 넣은 PVDF 복합재료 필름이 Neat PVDF 필름보다 상대적으로 더 높은 β 결정성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.
