A relationship between dynamic storage modulus ( E′ ) and the mean cross‐polarization time constants 〈 T CH 〉 for 16 polymer data sets has been established by using a standard linear solid model. This model is used in an attempt to equate the process of cross‐polarization with mechanical rigidity by virtue of the implicit dependence of each phenomenon on molecular motion. The apparent validity of the relationship between these parameters indicates that cross‐polarization in polymers can be a function of molecular motion in addition to microscopic spin dynamics. The limitations as well as practical applications of this relationship are discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
