It is shown that in successive DMA measurements performed with one sample the α relaxation peak almost disappears while the γ′ peak appears. The α relaxation peak, at ∼100°C in DMA measurements, is attributed to the preferential orientation of chains in the amorphous phase while the γ′ relaxation peak, at ∼50°C, is related to the thermal treatment to which the sample was submitted.263-266engDielectric relaxationDifferential scanning calorimetryDifferential thermal analysisFluorine containing polymersHeat treatmentMolecular orientationMolecular structurePhase transitionsThermal effectsPolyvinylidene fluorideSemicrystalline polymersPiezoelectric materialsTrabalho apresentado em evento10.1109/ISE.2002.1042993WOS:000179971700063Acesso aberto2-s2.0-00369489547607651111619269492194837482006564755851054567440000-0001-8001-301X0000-0002-7772-2701
