Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a premiere technique for the studies of polymers.
It is widely used for polymer identification, quality control, and reaction monitoring to structure determination, polymer morphology, compatibility, chain conformation, dynamics, diffusion, and imaging.
NMR users can be found in academia, industry, government agencies, and independent laboratories worldwide.
Because articles on polymer NMR tend to be published in a large number of different journals, it is useful to have a single book that includes review and papers on the latest advances by acknowledged leaders and active researchers in this field.
This book satisfies this need.
This book originates from a three-day symposium at the Pacifichem Conference in December 2010, where active practitioners of NMR gathered to provide a lively and highly successful symposium that included 43 talks and 24 posters, representing the state-of-the-art research of polymer NMR in solids, liquids, and imaging.
Most of the papers in this book are taken from the lectures given at the Pacifichem meeting.
A total of 31 articles are included in this book, covering fundamental and applied research, new methodology development, polymer structure determination, polymer dynamics and diffusion, nanostructures and nanocomposites, supramolecular assemblies, blends, miscibility, and heterogeneity, polymers under confinements and on surfaces, and multidimensional NMR.
Thus, this book provides a good representation of what is happening at the forefront of research in polymer NMR and also furnishes timely and authoritative reviews and original papers on the theory and the practice of NMR spectroscopy of polymers.
