Inclusion and dielectric properties of a vinylidene fluoride oligomer in coordination nanochannels

Abstract

The dynamics of oligo(vinylidene fluoride) (OVDF) confined in regular nanochannels of a porous coordination polymer (PCP) was studied by means of dielectric spectroscopy. The OVDF chains in the PCP nanopores showed two Arrhenius-type relaxation processes at lower temperatures than the relaxation temperature observed for the neat OVDF, showing the enhanced mobility of the confined OVDF.
