Zusatztext "Students and researchers in polymer and analytical chemistry will find this book a useful resource." (Analytical Chemistry! February 1! 2005) Informationen zum Autor PETER A. MIRAU is Senior Research Scientist in the Nonmetallic Materials Division (Polymer Branch) at the Air Force Research Laboratories in Dayton, Ohio. Klappentext A comprehensive introduction to an important analytical techniqueNMR spectroscopy has emerged as an important analytical method in polymer science. The intense interest in NMR has led to the development of commonly used practical methods, as well as complex and esoteric applications. This makes understanding and appreciating the power of NMR somewhat daunting to students and researchers from other fields.A Practical Guide to Understanding the NMR of Polymers provides an introductory framework for understanding the theory and practical applications of NMR in polymer science. This text was created specifically to provide readers with the essential concepts and the practical means for the analysis of polymers, including:* The basic NMR phenomena, including chemical shifts, spin-spin coupling, NMR relaxation, multidimensional (nD) NMR, and solid-state NMR, with special focus given to NMR parameters that are particularly important for the NMR of polymers* Experimental methods for polymer characterization, including practical tips for NMR sample preparation, data collection, and analysis* Solution characterization of polymers, including how changes in polymer microstructure lead to identifiable features in the NMR spectra* Solid-state NMR as a method for analyses of polymers such as the characterization of insoluble materials or monitoring of reactivity and curing of polymers* The dynamics of polymers both in solution and the solid stateWith clear, accessible language, numerous experimental examples, and helpful references, A Practical Guide to Understanding the NMR of Polymers gives advanced students and researchers in polymer and analytical chemistry a comprehensive introduction to this important technique. Zusammenfassung Peter Mirau presents an introduction to the theory and practice of NMR. He covers the fundamental principles of NMR and the applications to polymers. This book helps readers understand how these methods can be used to determine the chemical structure of polymers that influences the macroscopic properties. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
