Sz. Mao et al., ENTANGLED NETWORK FORMATION IN CONCENTRATED-SOLUTIONS OF 1,2-POLYBUTADIENE BY C-13 NMR RELAXATION STUDY, Polymer, 36(17), 1995, pp. 3409-3411
C-13 n.m.r. relaxation studies can provide information about the exact
location of an entanglement at the molecular level. The number of ent
anglements in the main chain is obviously larger than in the side chai
n. It is independent of the content of the 1,2-segment in polybutadien
e, and of the kind of solvent.
