Abstract

Temperature-controlled measurements of the transverse relaxation time were conducted with the NMR-MOUSE (nuclear magnetic resonance mobile universal surface explorer) at 50°C to investigate the heterogeneity of rubber sheets induced by thermo-oxidative aging. With temperature stabilization the relative error ofT 2 decreased by a factor of 4 on the short time scale. Without temperature stabilization it may reach 30% in the long-time range because of temperature changes in the laboratory. Two different types of mobile temperature control units operating with the NMR-MOUSE are described. These temperature control units are small and portable like the NMR-MOUSE.
