This book is an authoritative and comprehensive account of the principles and practice of modern NMR spectroscopy of solid polymers to determine their structure and dynamics at a molecular level. The book deals with the development of many new NMR capabilities, including high-resolution techniques for solids, multi-dimensional methods, deuterium NMR and others. All of these developments have contributed to a dramatic increase in the power and applicability of NMR for the characterization, at a molecular level, of the dynamics and structural organization of polymeric solids. A chapter on applications emphasizes polymer types and properties, and the authors include an introduction to all the main principles of NMR involved in its application to solid polymers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book provides an excellent overview of the breadth of solid-polymer problems that have been addressed with NMR...written by authors who have helped this field mature over the past 25 years. is is a resource that will be valuable to the practicing NMR spectroscopist, as well as those interested in the solid properties of polymers...the authors have given a very even treatment of the various aspects of solid-polymer NMR...serves as a useful overview of what can be done...an excellent book..." Frank Blum, Applied Spectroscopy

"...highly useful both as a general introduction to NMR methods applied to the solid state and as a source of discussion of specific, detailed applications that deal with a wide variety of polymer systems." Jasper D. Memory, American Scientist
