SYNOPSIS

Carbon-13 spin-lattice, spin-spin relaxation times, and NOE values were measured as a function of temperature at two magnetic fields for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) in three solvents: chloroform, dioxane, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The relaxation data were interpreted in terms of chain local motions by using the bimodal time-correlation function of the Dejean-Laupretre-Monnerie (DLM) model. Using this model, the correlation times obtained in this study, as well as those from an earlier study in dibutyl phthalate and 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane did not follow a linear relationship with solvent viscosity. Instead, the chain local dynamics showed a 0.60 power dependence on solvent viscosity, indicating that PVC deviates from the hydrodynamic Kramers' theory.
