Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) today probably is the most valuable tool for elucidation of molecular structure, order, and dynamics. For the characterization of macromolecules [1,2], NMR can be divided into two major areas. High-resolution NMR provides detailed information about the chain microstructure in solution. Solid-state NMR allows to characterize the molecular structure and the organization of the macromolecules in the bulk. Special techniques offer to study dynamic aspects over a large range of characteristic rates. Solid-state NMR allows to characterize morphology properties, e.g. chain alignment in oriented polymers [3]. Multidimensional techniques offer fundamental advantages [4] by introducing an additional frequency dimension to increase the spectral resolution and by providing routes to new information, unavailable from 1D spectra even in the limit of high resolution [5]. One aspect to establish structure-property relationships for polymer materials is the characterization of domain sizes in heterogeneous materials. Advanced polymer materials with more than one component are phase separated in most cases. Small domains of only a few nanometers, as well as interfaces between the different phases, are particular difficult to characterize. Here, new solid-state NMR techniques nicely supplement well-established scattering and microscopic methods.
