β¦ Synopsis
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films were subjected to swelling in aqueous I2/KI solutions. The influence of some factors on the relation of equilibrium swelling degree vs the iodine concentration in water was found. In the first stage of swelling, a possibility of conformational changes of PAN chains was demonstrated on the basis of ~H BL NMR and the interpretation of i.r. spectra of swollen PAN. A significant influence of the value of equilibrium swelling degree on the values of the glass transition temperature and activation energy of the transition is discussed.

## Abstract The conformation of polymers at interface profoundly influences the interfacial properties. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCMβD) is a newly developed technique to detect polymer behavior at interface in real time. In this article, we mainly review our QCMβD studies. Our
