The most important high-technology applications of poly (vinylidene             fluoride) PVF plastics are in the general category of transducers,              where its toughness and flexibility enables its use in the form of thin         films in ultrasonic and hydrophonic devices over wide frequency ranges          as well as in  medical diagnostics.  PVF crystallizes in at least four          crystal forms, the form being of primary technological interest because         of its piezo- and pyrolectric properties.  The goal of this research is         to apply a number of unique processing techniques, with the potential           of directly yielding the desired form crystal structure, and to                 characterize the resulting properties and structure.  Processing                techniques to be applied include flow-induced crystallization,                  suspension-gel spinning, uniaxial and biaxial tensile deformation,              rolling, thin film quenching, and electric field induced orientation.
