Polyethylene structure in the solid state as studied by variable-temperature 13C CP/MAS n.m.r. spectroscopy

Abstract High-resolution 13 C n.m.r. spectra of melt-quenched polyethylene sample were measured within the temperature range of - 120 to 90°C by means of variable temperature/magic angle spinning technique. Based on these results, the temperature change of polyethylene structure in the solid state was discussed.
