The crystallization modification of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) was investigated for the blend films of PVDF and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The mass crystallinity (χc) and further, the β-phase content (F(β)) of PVDF, were studied for the as-prepared blend films with different mass ratios. In addition, the variations of χc and F(β) were systematically probed once the PMMA component was removed from the related blend systems. DSC, FTIR and XRD measurements all indicated that 1) χc, F(β) and even the content of α-phase (F(α)) decreased with the addition of PMMA; 2) with the extraction of PMMA, both χc and F(β) increased while F(α) decreased. It is worth noting that the increase of χc and F(β) depended on the relative amount of extracted PMMA (EPMMA), i.e., the more PMMA was removed, the more χc and F(β) increased. These results reveal the hindrance effect from the PMMA constituent to the crystallization of PVDF, and consequently, this restriction would be released when the PMMA was extracted.
