Abstract

3D Small Angle X-ray scattering (3D – SAXS) was applied to study the microstructure and the deformation mechanism in PVDF – foils (polyvinyhdene fluoride). SAXS is a powerful tool to investigate structural changes in deformed polymers to reveal morphology at the nanometer scale. When PVDF is strained the structure changes from spherohtic isotropie to a highly anisotropie fiber bundle structure, which requires a full three-dimensional analysis of the SAXS signal.
