title: 1H and 13C NMR studies of molecular dynamics in the biocopolymer of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone.
abstract: Copolymers of glycolide and epsilon-caprolactone were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and solid-state NMR. The variation of the T1 relaxation time with temperature reflects local disorder and can be quantified in terms of the distribution of correlation times predicted by the Davidson-Cole model. T, relaxation is dominated by trans-gauche isomerisation, with an activation energy of 34-35 kJ mol(-1).
