Abstract
THE nuclear spin resonance spectrum of polystyrene has been reported by Bovey, Tiers and Filipovich1. Resonance peaks for ortho and for meta, and para aromatic protons were observed. Absorptions by methylene and carbinyl (chain) protons appeared as a broader single peak in the case of high molecular weight species. For polystyrene of degree of polymerization 10 or less the carbinyl proton was resolved from that of the methylene protons.
