Abstract
The present study describs the fabrication of hollow polyvinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene (P(VDF-TrFE)) nano-bundles by the template-assisted method. The P(VDF-TrFE) solution was spin-coated onto porous templates at four different rotation speeds, e.g., 1000 rpm, 2000 rpm, 3000 rpm, and 4000 rpm. The characteristics of the prepared nanostructures were evaluated to examine their morphological, structural, and hysteresis behaviors. All the P(VDF-TrFE) nanostructures were characterized as bundles rather than individual structures due to their agglomeration properties. The P(VDF-TrFE) nanostructures, which were synthesized at 4000 rpm, ensured a shorter length in comparison to the others fabricated at lower spin rates. Despite their different diameters and lengths, no clear difference was observed in the crystallinities of these nanostructures.
