Abstract
Molecular motions in poly(diethyl siloxane) were studied by solid-state29Si-NMR in the temperature range 180–350 K. In this temperature range two solid phasesβ 1 andβ 2, a mesophaseα m, and an amorphous isotropic phase exist. The nature of the chain mobility in the different phases was deduced from the resulting changes in the NMR line-shape governed by anisotropic chemical shift. In the intermediate solid phaseβ 2 its anisotropy is reduced by 25% compared with the low temperature phaseβ 1 due to the onset of oscillations around the chain axis and conformational transitions. In the mesophaseα m the polymer chain rotates about its long axis yielding an axially symmetric chemical shift tensor opposite in sign to that in theβ 1,β 2 phases. The broad transition of the mesophase into the isotropic phase is accompanied by an increase in a narrow Lorentzian line arising from the amorphous phase. The results are compared with previous1H NMR, Raman-spectroscopy and x-ray measurements.
