Intermolecular Interactions and Dynamics in Polymer/C-60 Blends
Solid-state NMR and X-ray scattering are used to study intermolecular interactions in miscible blends of C-60 with polystyrene, poly(9-vinylcarbazole), and phase-separate blends with poly(ethylene oxide). Miscible C-60 blends prepared by solution precipitation with polystyrene and poly(9-vinylcarbazole) are purple in color, show intermolecular C-60-polymer cross-polarization, and do not show the scattering peaks from C-60 crystallites. The C-60 dynamics measured using the chemical shift anisotropy filter pulse sequence shows that C-60 rotates rapidly in the blend and averages the anisotropic line shape, while blending with C-60 has a minor effect on the host polymer dynamics. These results demonstrate that C-60 interacts weakly with polymers in miscible blends.
