Notes:
The diffuse-streak x-ray scattering intensity from poly(vinylidene fluoride) form I, which is caused by kink bands with GTnḠ (n odd) conformation contained in the crystallite, decreases with increasing temperature, while the intensity of the 001 reflection does not change. This is attributed to the disappearance of the kink bands in the crystallite, not to partial melting of crystallites containing kink bands. The disappearance of the kink bands suggests that kink motion takes place in the crystallite. Plots of the intensity of diffuse-streak scattering, estimated from the asymmetric part of the 001 reflection, against 1/T roughly give ΔHv = -4.6 kcal/mol. This suggests that the kink band is energetically more stable than the regular structure of form I.
