Abstract

The rotational mobility of molecules in glassy polymers was investigated by quantitative simulations of electron spin resonance spectra of nitroxide spin probes with molecules of different sizes. The motional models were determined unambiguously when the experimental and calculated spectra coincided within the level of experimental error. Temperature ranges in which different motional models were applicable were determined. Quasi‐librational movements and the distribution of rotational mobility were found to be necessary for the qualitative description of spin‐probe mobility in glassy polymers. The quantitative and empirical characteristics of rotational mobility were examined. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011

For ESR studies of molecular rotation in liquids, it is desirable to match the spin probe as closely as possible to the solvent molecules. In this work the solvents were model lubricants whose overall motion has been characterized from carbon-13 NMR relaxation measurements. Two compounds were studie
