Composite nanofibers of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF 2 ) with silver nanoparticles are fabricated by electrospinning. According to the X‐ray diffraction patterns and Fourier transform IR (FTIR) spectra, the content of piezoelectric β‐polymorph of PVF 2 is enhanced in the composite fibers of PVF 2 and silver as compared with the pristine PVF 2 raw materials and electrospun nanofibers. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurement indicates that the composite of PVF 2 and silver has higher melting point and crystallization temperature than that of pristine PVF 2 nanofibers. Moreover, the existence of silver nanoparticles greatly enhances the dielectric constant of PVF 2 nanofibers and keeps a low dielectric loss simultaneously, which mainly relates to the internal fibrous structure of the composite. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
