Abstract

A theoretical study of poly(vinylidene fluoride), PVDF, which exhibits piezoelectricity effect, is presented. By Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations, some of the properties of this material have been obtained. Among those properties, hardness, capacitance, dipolar moment and energy associated to the structural changes. The B3LYP functional and 6311+G(d,p) bases set were used with a Gaussian program. Five length chain molecules were studied, H-(CH2-CF2)x-H, where x=1,2,3,4 and 6 for the four different PVDF conformations, namely, I=Tp, II=TGa, III =TGp and IV =T3G, where T means trans and G means gauche.
