NMR 3D Analysis Photopolymerization

by N. Fatkullin et al

This volume presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics and materials science.

NMR 3D Analysis Photopolymerization's objective is to outline the basic theories and models of linear polymer chain dynamics and to demonstrate the potential of NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) techniques for probing the characteristics of molecular motions in such systems. From the methodological point of view, it mainly focuses on field-cycling NMR relaxometry and field-gradient NMR diffusometry, but also makes some references to transverse relaxation and the residual dipolar interaction occuring in entangled polymer systems.

It is addressed to all scientists at universities and in industry who wish to keep abreast of advances in the topics covered.
