Abstract

AbstractNuclear magnetic resonance relaxation and line width studies were performed on two carboxyl‐terminated polybutadiene polymers and their corresponding binders at temperatures from −170 to 25°C. It was observed that the line widths of the binders increased as the functionality of the corresponding liquid polymers increased. In addition, glass transition temperatures and activation energies obtained from line width measurements were determined. From pulse measurements the magnitude of the relaxation time T1 and the temperature at which T1 is a minimum were determined for a polymer and its corresponding binder. These empirical quantities for the carboxyl‐terminated polybutadiene polymers were lower than those of the corresponding binders because of less restraints in the internal motions of the polymer chain.
