Polymer networks were prepared by Steglich esterification using poly(sorbitol adipate) (PSA) and poly(sorbitol adipate)- graft -poly(ethylene glycol) mono methyl ether (PSA- g -mPEG 12 ) copolymer. Utilizing multi-hydroxyl functionalities of PSA, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was first grafted onto a PSA backbone. Then the cross-linking of PSA or PSA- g -mPEG 12 was carried out with disuccinyl PEG of different molar masses (Suc-PEG n -Suc). Polymers were characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The degree of swelling of networks was investigated through water (D 2 O) uptake studies, while for detailed examination of their structural dynamics, networks were studied using 13 C magic angle spinning NMR ( 13 C MAS NMR) spectroscopy, 1 H double quantum NMR ( 1 H DQ NMR) spectroscopy, and 1 H pulsed field gradient NMR ( 1 H PFG NMR) spectroscopy. These solid state NMR results revealed that the networks were composed of a two component structure, having different dipolar coupling constants. The diffusion of solvent molecules depended on the degree of swelling that was imparted to the network by the varying chain length of the PEG based cross-linking agent.
