Abstract
The structure of propylene oxide-ethylene oxide block copolymers prepared with the use of glycerol as an initiator and potassium monoglycerate as a catalyst was studied by NMR spectroscopy. The relative amounts of oxypropylene and oxyethylene monomer units, the functionality-type distribution, the number-average molecular mass, and the ratio between primary and secondary terminal hydroxyl groups were determined. The applicability of 1H and 13C NMR techniques to characterization of these copolymers is discussed. The obtained NMR data are compared with results obtained by other techniques.
