Organic-inorganic hybrid composites consisting of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and SiO2 were prepared through a sol-gel process and the crystallization behavior of PVDF in the presence of SiO2 networks was investigated by spectroscopic, thermal and x-ray diffraction measurements. The hybrid composites obtained were relatively transparent, and brittleness increased with increasing content of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). It was regarded from FT-IR and DSC thermal analyses that at least a certain interaction existed between PVDF molecules and the SiO2 networks. X-ray diffraction measurements showed that all of the hybrid samples had a crystal structure of PVDFγ-phase. Fresh gel prepared from the sol-gel reaction showed a very weak x-ray diffraction peak near 2θ=21° due to PVDF crystallization, and intensity increased gradually with time after gelation. The crystallization behavior of PVDF was strongly affected by the amount of SiO2 networks. That is, SiO2 content directly influenced preference and disturbance for crystallization. In polymer-rich hybrids, SiO2 networks had a favorable effect on the extent of PVDF crystallization. In particular, the maximum percent crystallinity of PVDF occurred at the content of 3.7 wt% SiO2 and was higher than that of pure PVDF. However, beyond about 10 wt% SiO2, the crystallization of PVDF was strongly confined.
