Figure 1

SEM micrographs for (a) Gd\({}_{5}\)Si\({}_{2.4}\)Ge\({}_{1.6}\) powder with average particle size of 3.4 \(\mu \)m, as obtained through the log-normal distribution shown in (b). The cross-section micrograph for 2 wt.% sample in (c) reveals the powder distribution along PVDF thickness. (d) 2 wt.% and (e) 12 wt.% PVDF/GSG composite surface images reveal a good dispersion of the 3.4 \(\mu \)m Gd\({}_{5}\)Si\({}_{2.4}\)Ge\({}_{1.6}\) powder.
