Dynamics of Yamamoto-type poly(p-phenylene)[PPP] was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and proton solid-state NMR relaxation spectroscopy. The DSC chart shows the baseline jump without latent heat at 295K, which is due to the glass transition of the polymer. From the variable temperature proton longitudinal relaxation time(T1) measurements, relatively short T1 is observed over the wide temperatures range from 250K (closed to Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman temperature) to 360K, inferred the existence of cooperative critical slowing down associated withthe glass transition. The frequency dependence of proton longitudinal relaxation time at 295K shows R1 ~ w^-0.5 dependence, which is due to the one-dimensional diffusion-like motion of the backbone conformational modulation. The frequency dependence is held at least up to 360K. From these experiments, we were able to observe the twist glass transition of the backbone of PPP, of which critical dynamics has a universality class of the three-dimensional XY model.
