Abstract
We report the studies on the structrural properties of Langmuir Blodgett (LB) films fabricated from the copolymer of vinylidenefluoride (VDF) with trifluoroethylene(TrFE). The formation of nanomesas induced by thermal annealing at $135\;^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour was investigated with the atomic force microscope (AFM) and the X-ray diffractometer (XRD). From the result of surface morphology change in 30 monolayer LB film, we find that the annealing treatment on the P(VDF-TrFE) LB film result in the plastic deformation of crystalline polymer. The ${\beta}$ phase crytalline structure in annealed LB film was clearly confirmed from the XRD peak at $19.7^{\circ}$.
