Abstract
The chain dynamics in methyl cellulose (MC), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) were studied with the aid of field-cycling NMR relaxometry technique in the temperature range from 300 to 480 K that is above the glass transition, but below thermal degradation. The frequency dependence of proton spin-lattice relaxation time was determined between 24 kHz and 40 MHz for selected temperatures. The experimental spin-lattice relaxation dispersion data were fitted with the power law relations of T1âÏγ predicted by the tube/reptation model. The exponent's values found from the fitting procedure for MC, HPMC and HPC almost exactly match the ones predicted in tube/reptation model for limit II (γ=0.75) and in MC also for limit III (γ=0.50). Remarkably, this finding concerns the polymers in networks formed of the same polymer species.
