Abstract
Six gel‐type functional resins, that is, three poly‐DMAA‐co‐TMPTP (DMAA=N,N‐dimethylacrylamide, TMPTP=trimethylolpropyltrimethacrylate) samples with different degrees of cross‐linking (0.6, 1.2, 1.7 % mol) and three poly‐DMAA‐co‐MA‐co‐TMPTP (MA=methacrylic acid, ca. 5.5 % mol) samples with 1.7, 3.5, and 7 % mol cross‐linking were investigated with ISEC (inverse steric exclusion chromatography), and ESR and CP‐MAS (cross polarization magic angle spinning) ^13^C NMR spectroscopy after swelling in water and other solvents. This unprecedented combination of conceptually independent physicochemical techniques provides a thorough overall consistent picture of the morphology of the resins on the nanometer scale and of the molecular accessibility of the swollen polymer framework to the paramagnetic probe TEMPONE (2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐4‐oxo‐1‐oxypiperidine) and to selected solvents.
