NMR spectroscopy of solid polymer systems

Characterization of Solid Polymers

Abstract

Over time, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has proven to be a remarkably versatile tool for the description of molecular structure and dynamics. This versatility arises from the wide range of nuclear interactions affecting the NMR signal. Because these interactions depend on different nuclear and molecular parameters, one can manipulate them to extract very specific information. Since the development, in the mid-1970s, of solid-state pulse techniques, it has been possible to tailor an NMR experiment to highlight the specific interaction of interest [1–4], leading to a finer description of chemical structure, morphology, orientation, and chain dynamics [5–7].
