Single layer graphite, popularly known as graphene, has attracted much scientific interest in recent years due to its outstanding mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.Recent research confirms graphene is ideal a nano filler improve physical chemical properties of polymers.In this study, we aim understand the structural morphological their modifications occurring during nanocomposite fabrication.Polyvinylidene fluoride/reduced oxide (PVDF/rGO) based polymer nanocomposites were prepared by adding various concentrations (2% 5%) rGO into PVDF matrix.At first liquid phase composite was using bath sonication process, then it converted film annealing at 120 o C for 2 hrs.Annealing converts matrix β-phase.Several characterizations such XRD, FT-IR, FESEM, EDS have been employed confirm enhancement β-phase addition synthesized samples.The signature peaks FT-IR transition from γ β. FESEM analysis displays some pin-hole formation on rGO, which may be an interesting feature explore.Elemental mapping shows approximately equal distribution elements composites.
