Notes:
p-Divinylbenzene (DVB) 13C-labeled at the methine carbon of the vinyl group was copolymerized in suspension with styrene at 70, 70-95, and 135-155°C using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. The number of unreacted vinyl groups in each copolymer was determined by 13C CP-MAS NMR analysis of solid samples, direct polarization 13C-NMR analysis of CDCl3-swollen gels, and bromination. Results from the three methods agree methods agree qualitatively. Even the 1% DVB-crosslinked networks contained 40% unreacted DVB-vinyl groups when prepared by high conversion polymerization at 70°C and 16% unreacted DVB-vinyl groups when polymerization was finished at 95°C. The analyses were also applied to some commercial crosslinked polystyrenes. Every sample examined contained pendent vinyl groups
