Abstract
Semicrystalline porous films of poly(vinylidenefluoride) (PVdF) were prepar ed by a phase-inversion method. The microstructure of the films depends on the preparation conditions, and can be classified in two categories: sponge -like and finger-like. Porosities higher than 75% can be reached with finge r-like texture, and all the pore structure is accessible to the electrolyte solution. Conductivity higher than 2 mS/cm is easily obtained by soaking t he films into standard electrolyte solutions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V . All rights reserved.
