How come some spell it polyvinylidene fluoride and some spell it polyvinylidine difluoride? How is it supposed to be spelled? Kr5t 23:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Most journal papers use polyvinylidene fluoride or poly(vinylidene fluoride). For example:
  1. Kawai, H., (1969). "The Piezoelectricity of Poly (vinylidene Fluoride)", Jpn. J. Appl. Phys, 8, 975-976.
  2. Zhang, Q. M., Bharti, V., Zhao, X., (1998). "Giant Electrostriction and Relaxor Ferroelectric Behavior in Electron-Irradiated Poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) Copolymer", Science, 280, 2101-2104.
  3. Lovinger, A. J., (1983). "Ferroelectric Polymers", Science, 220, 1115-1121.
  4. Lovinger, A. J., Wang, T. T., (1979). "Investigation of the properties of directionally solidified poly(vinylidene fluoride)", Polymer, 20, 725-732.
  5. Bauer, S., (1996). "Poled polymers for sensor and photonic applications", J. Appl. Phys., 80 (10), 5531-5558.

[edit] 'Spam links'

Hi User:ChemGardener, I noticed you removed some of the links that I added for the material properties (1[1], 2 [2], 3[3], 4 [4]). In that case, perhaps the superscripts 1, 2, 3, 4 (in the properties table on the right) should be removed as well? --Nathaniel 14:27, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thermal expansion coefficient

The thermal expansion coefficient, 0.18x10^-6/K, seems to be in error because:

1. It's about 3 orders of magnitude LOWER than several online sources that give about 120x10^-6/K, and 2. It's hard to believe that a polymer would have an expansion coefficient this low.
