Abstract

This work shows that, in studies on porous disordered organic material such as cross-linked resin of poly(4- vinylpyridine, one has to consider a possible interfacial adsorption of solvents. We propose the nuclear relaxation associated with ESR of y-ray induced radicals as an efficient method to estimate the extent of solvent penetration into the interface of the polymer network. This method is however limited to the case where free radicals resulting from solvent-substrate interactions can be selectively generated at interfaces.
