Abstract

The 13C n.m.r. spin lattice relaxation times and Nuclear Overhauser Enhancements have been measured for solutions of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in o-dichlorobenzene, polystyrene (PS) in pentachloroethane and poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) in CDCI 3 as a function of temperature. For PS and PMMA a T 1 minimum is observed close to ambient temperature. The single correlation time theory of relaxation is inadequate to explain the relaxation data, but within experimental error, the data can be interpreted in terms of either the Cole-Cole distribution of correlation times, the log − χ 2 distribution or a conformational jump model of chain dynamics.
