In this Communication, the effect of varying mass fractions (0–20 wt.‐%) of calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ) salt on the α ‐ and β ‐phase content of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) as‐cast films were investigated. Spectral and X‐ray studies revealed the maximum ferroelectric β ‐phase for the addition of 15 wt.‐% of CaCl 2 in PVDF compared to neat PVDF samples. The dense β ‐phase dominant PVDF–CaCl 2 (15 wt.‐%) thick film used as a ferroelectric insulator in one‐capacitor (1C) type random access memory device exhibited a remnant polarization of 3.1 µC · cm 2 , and is a good indication that the unoriented PVDF–CaCl 2 films can be used in electronic applications without further stretching process.
