Once stretching condition is removed then why beta phase doesn't go back to alpha phase in PVDF?

We know that uniaxial and biaxial stretching induces the formation of beta/gamma phase in PVDF. So, once the stretching condition is removed then why doesn't the phase go back to its most stable...

What is the difference between RAMAN and FTIR spectra?

I have come across studies which have mentioned Raman and FTIR to be complementary. So, why are some bands present in FTIR but are absent in Raman or vice-versa.

Is there any difference between the piezoelectric coefficient values expressed in pm/V and pC/N?

I need to clarify that is 1 pm/V = 1pC/N? Why there are two units? Are the methods to measure the piezoelectric coefficient in the two units, different? Kindly help! Thank you.

What is the difference in Phase vs. voltage curves, during PFM, when sample biased as opposed to tip biased?

While carrying out PFM for my polymer films, I observed that while taking butterfly curves and phase plots; if during analysis it is sample biased and tip biased we are getting a marginal...

Decrease in Onset of Degradation Temperature in PVDF/Filler Composites as compared to pure PVDF. Why?

I am observing a decrease in the filler incorporated PVDF composites as compared to pure PVDF. This means that the thermal stability is decreasing. Even though the polar phase formation is...

Why rGO is much effective than GO in polar phase (beta phase) formation in PVDF?

In many research articles I have come across, rGO has been deemed more favourable for inducing beta phase in PVDF than GO even though it has less functional groups on its surface in comparison...

Is there a way to compare the crystallinity of different PVDF phases?

As its known that PVDF has 5 crystalline phases. Is the relative crystallinity of all the phases same or different. Is there some study published on it yet? or this is just an absurd question...
