NMR of Polymers

by Frank A. Bovey, Peter A. Mirau

Overview

NMR has made important contributions to our understanding of structure–property relationships in polymers. This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of NMR, with applications of multidimensional NMR and the new solution and solid-state methods in polymer science. NMR of Polymers is written by leading authorities for graduate students and professionals in academia and industry. - Provides comprehensive overview of NMR in Polymer Science - Covers multidimensional NMR - Includes new solution and solid state methods - Addresses chain conformation and dynamics

Editorial Reviews

Reprints the 1972 overview of the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging to the characterization of polymer materials. After reviewing the fundamental principles of both NMR and polymers, discusses the solution characterization of polymers, solid-state NMR, and the dynamics of macromolecules. Addressed to academic and industrial researchers, and draws on selected data from both classic and recent (at the time) experiments that illustrate major types of problems in polymer science. Includes multi-dimensional NMR. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Booknews

"The book fulfills its purpose and provides considerable background on the fundamentals of NMR spectroscopy, as well....the book is well written and should be particularly valuable to industrial and academic labs studying a variety of polymers and related problems." —Dr. Larry S. Simeral, Albemarle Corporation, APPLIED SPECTROSCOPY

"Frank A. Bovey and Peter A. Mireau have succeeded well in their objective....those most likely to find the book useful are postgraduate students and research scientists who have a special interest in polymer science and are already familiar with NMR methods." —Bernhard Blumich

"This is an excellent book that should be continuously consulted by everyone involved in studying polymers, both in academia and in industrial research labs....I highly recommend this as a very useful reference book, not only for the beginners in the field, but also for researchers who currently use one or another of the NMR techniques available to polymer chemists." —Almeria Natansohn, Queen's University, JOURNAL OF AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
