A critical analysis of the α, β and γ phases in poly(vinylidene fluoride) using FTIR
TL;DR: In this article, a universal phase identification procedure using only the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results is proposed and validated, which can differentiate the three phases by checking the bands around 763 and/or 614, 1275, and 1234 cm−1 for the α, β and γ phases, respectively.

Nucleation of the Electroactive γ Phase and Enhancement of the Optical Transparency in Low Filler Content Poly(vinylidene)/Clay Nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the piezoelectric d33 response of montmorillonite clay was measured and the obtained value of d33 is −7 pC/N, lower than in β-PVDF obtained by mechanical stretching but still among the largest coefficients obtained for polymers.

Crystal Structures of Three Crystalline Forms of Poly(vinylidene fluoride)
TL;DR: In this article, an alternately-deflected molecular structure was proposed to release steric hindrance between the fluorine atoms along the chain, and a satistically disordered packing of such deflected chains satisfies the observed fiber period and improves appreciably the structure factor agreement.
