The effect of thermal poling and corona charging on the structure and characteristics of poly(vinylidene fluoride) films (PVDF) was investigated. The structure and chemical change of PVDF films with different polarizing treatments was examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. The characteristics including piezoelectric coefficients, ferroelectric hysteresis, and leakage current were measured. It was found that both polarized methods contribute to dramatic improvement on the piezoelectricity and ferroelectricity of PVDF films, while thermal poling leads to structure change with the generation of new carbon composition. The reason to cause leakage current was also analyzed. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 47:1344–1350, 2007.
