Investigating Chain Dynamics in Highly Crosslinked Polymers using Solid–State 1H NMR Spectroscopy
Abstract
Solid state 1H NMR line–shape analysis and (double quantum) DQ 1H NMR experiments have been used to investigate the segmental and polymer chain dynamics as a function of temperature for a series of thermosetting epoxy resins produced using different diamine curing agents. In these thermosets, chemical crosslinks introduce topological constraints leading to residual stresses during curing. Materials containing a unique ferrocene–based diamine (FcDA) curing agent were evaluated to address the role of the ferrocene fluxional process on the atomic–level polymer dynamics. Here, at temperatures above the glass transition temperature (Tg), the DQ 1H NMR experiments provided a measure of the relative effective crosslink and entanglement densities for these materials and revealed significant polymer chain dynamic heterogeneity in the FcDA–cured thermosets.
