Abstract
Fourier transform infrared spectra of freeze-dried samples of isotacti c polystyrene (i-PS) from dilute solutions were analyzed. The 698, 145 2, 1493 and 1601 cm(-1) bands increased in sharpness and intensity as the solution concentration decreased, indicating that the freeze-dried sample is in a more dilated state. When the freeze-dried i-PS was ann ealed at 100 degrees C, all aforementioned bands broadened and their h eights depressed, accompanied with a significant change of the bands a t 981 and 906 cm(-1).
