 | Smith, Grant D.; Borodin, Oleg; Bedrov, Dmitro | 13C NMR spin-lattice relaxation and conformational dynamics in a 1,4-polybutadiene melt | We have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of a melt of 1,4-polybutadiene (PBD, 1622 Da) over the temperature range 400?273 K. 13C NMR spin?lattice relaxation times (T1) and nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) values have been measured from 357 to 272 K for 12 different resonances.
