after polymerization, a styrene substituent's NMR peak shift down by few tenths of Hz and broaden when this monomer ( styrene modified on the meta position) is homopolymerized. when this monomer is copolymerized with normal styrene ( styrene/modified styrene = 9/1), it still broaden but appears at the same position as it was before polymerization.
PS: i find nothing in the the literature and i'm talking about a substituent, not the polymer backbone.
thanks
