Abstract Development of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film composite filled with carbon-
based nanomaterials is attracting considerable attention in engineering applications.
Numerous studies focus on the enhancement of PVDF properties by adding chemically
modified graphene oxide or functionalized carbon nanotubes, or by modifying the polymer
chains. On the other hand, in this paper we investigate the nucleation effect of graphene
nanoplatelets (GNPs) on morphology and structure of PVDF, without any chemical …
