Polymers and Plastics

Analytical tools based on magnetic resoance technology for drug discovery

Polymers can be studied by NMR in different states and under a large variety of conditions. Solid state NMR is used to look at insoluble polymers or those that do not melt. High temperature NMR can be applied for studies of molten polymers or materials in special high temperature solvents and HR-MAS NMR can provide detailed information of polymers in solvent swollen or semi-rigid states.

The high dynamic range of the AVANCE-III system combined with the optimized probe performance makes NMR the ideal tool to study polymer end-groups, branching and other features of the material present only in minute quantitites.
