Abstract
Measurements of temperature dependent ESR spectra of spin labels trapped in the polymer matrices is very effective for the evaluation of molecular mobility (molecular motion) of polymer chains. We can characterize the molecular motion of the particular sites in different region by the ESR method. It is possible to detect the mobility of polymer material at the segment or atomic level. ESR studies help to relate the features of the nanometer scale to macroscopic properties of the polymer materials. We present examples of spin labeling studies in the polymer science to help readers new to the field understand how and for what areas the method is effective. In the first part, we give a simple review of the spin labeling method and present applications in the polymer physics related to relaxation phenomena in various systems. In the second part applications to biopolymer system are introduced to help the clarification of various mechanisms of bio-membranes.
