A two-step model for the dissolution is proposed. Swelling of the polymer below the 8 temperature is eventually the dispersion of the side group phenyl rings only. While above the 6 temperature, complete dissolution is the dispersion of the main chain at a molecular level. The results of T1(C) are confirmed by 1H-NMR imaging. NMR and its imaging are powerful tools to study the dynamic behavior of dissolution process of polymers in their 6 solvents.展开更多
