are commonly used as sulfonating agents for various polymers, including PS. The main
purpose of this work is to study chemical structural changes in PS arising from sulfonation
through DSC analysis and NMR spectroscopy. An increase in the glass transition
temperature (Tg) of sulfonated polystyrene and a decrease of proton relaxation time in the
rotating frame (T1ρH) in relation to pure polystyrene were observed. These findings indicate …
