Overview
A Practical Guide to Understanding the NMR of Polymers presents an introduction to the theory and practice of NMR, and includes sections on the fundamental principles of NMR and the applications to polymers. This book will help readers understand how these methods can be used to determine the chemical structure of polymers that influences the macroscopic properties. Solid state NMR methods are introduced to enable the readers to measure the structure of polymers on longer length scales. It is also shown how NMR is used to measure the molecular dynamics that can be related to the mechanical properties of polymers.
Synopsis
Writing for advanced students and researchers in polymer and analytical chemistry, Mirau (nonmetallic materials, Air Force Research Laboratories) introduces the theory and practical applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in polymer science, covering the NMR phenomenon, the NMR spectrometer, experimental methods, and polymer structure. Experiments have been chosen to illustrate fundamental principles, and many demonstrate the level at which information about the structure and dynamics can be obtained from the NMR spectra.
