Abstract:

In this work, the structure of a poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether-b- poly(L-alanine) copolymer (MPEG-b-PLA) in its solid- state was studied by 13C CP/MAS, DP/MAS and spin lattice relaxation time T1 NMR experiments. The results revealed that the PEG blocks are crystallizable in the solid state of the diblock polymer, but the degree of crystallinity is considerably lower in the diblock polymer state than that in pure PEG. It was found that the PLA blocks is rigid not only because of the formation of a large number of α-helices and a small number of β-sheets as secondary structures, but also owing to PLA crystallinity in the solid state. The results also implied that Cβ is more mobile than Cα at room temperature, and the β-methyl group rotates freely around its axis.

Key words: NMR, solid-state NMR, MPEG-b-PLA, block copolymer
