Li, C. Zhou, M. Jiang Title: UV absorption spectra of polystyrene Journal/Source: Polymer Bulletin, 25 (2), 211-216, (1991); doi:10.1007/BF00310794 Data: diagram, table Energy/Wavelength range: 200 - 350 nm Resolution: Temperature: Temperature dependence: Pressure/Concentration: in chloroform, concentrations are 10^-2 M Phase: solution (chloroform) pH: Comments: Polystyrene (PSt) exhibits a new UV absorption band at around 290 nm in comparison with ethylbenzene, which is attributed to associative interaction between pendant phenyl groups.
