Abstract

Chain-folding structure of semicrystalline polymers in melt- and solution-grown crystals has been debated over the past several decades. Recently, 13C-13C double quantum (DQ) NMR spectroscopy and spin dynamics simulation have been applied to trace chain trajectory of 13C-labeled polymers in melt- and solution-grown crystals. We highlight the versatile approaches of using 13C-13C DQ NMR and isotope labeling for revealing (i) chain trajectory in melt- and solution-grown crystals, (ii) conformation of the folded chains in single crystals, (iii) self-folding in the early stage of crystallization, and (iv) unfolding of the folded chains under stretching.
