Synopsis

This book is an authoritative and comprehensive account of the principles and practice of NMR spectroscopy of solids as applied to polymeric materials to determine their structure and dynamics at a molecular level. NMR spectroscopy has been applied to the characterization of polymers in solid state for over 40 years. The past few decades have seen the development of many new NMR capabilities, including high-resolution techniques for solids, multi-dimensional methods, deuterium NMR and others. All of these developments have contributed to a dramatic increase in the power and applicability of NMR for the characterization, at a molecular level, of the dynamics and structural organization of polymeric solids. The applications chapters emphasize the polymer types and properties. The authors have included an introduction to all the main principles of the technique involved in its application to solid polymers. Rigorous and detailed analytical treatment of all main areas is also available.

About this title

Review

'... a delight to read not only for the polymer scientist but also for the NMR expert.' Bernhard Blümich, Advanced Materials

'This book provides an excellent overview of the breadth of solid-polymer problems that have been addressed with NMR ... written by authors who have helped this field mature over the past 25 years. It is a resource that will be valuable to the practising NMR spectroscopist, as well as those interested in the solid properties of polymers ...' Frank Blum, Applied Spectroscopy

'... highly recommended to scientists and students interested in modern polymer analysis and NMR.' Bernhard Blümich, Advanced Materials

'In summary, this is an informative and enjoyable book which should be on the reading list of all those with an interest in the structure and properties of solid polymers.' Polymer International

'Two distinguished scientists with complementary experience in NMR have written an excellent monograph for polymer chemists and physicists ... authoratitive and well-produced book, which is recommended.' Professor D. W. Jones, Contemporary Physics
