Abstract

Fundamental torsional frequencies of methyl groups have been measured with neutron incoherent inelastic scattering for isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate)-COOCD 3, and heterotactic, syndiotactic and head-to-head isomers of poly(α-methylstyrene). The measurements confirm that the spectrum of isotactic PMMA differs considerably from the syndiotactic polymer in the region of the fundamental vibration, but no difference is found for the two stereoregular forms of poly(α-methylstyrene). However, the torsional frequency of the methyl group in the head-to-head configuration of α-methylstyrene lies at lower wavenumbers than that observed in the head-to-tail.
