The physical properties of the electrospun poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes can be improved by thermal treatment. Results showed after the thermal treatment, there had appeared ever-increasing tensile strength and elongation of the poly(vinylidene fluoride) membranes. The crystal structures of poly(vinylidene fluoride) fibers were greatly improved.
