    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.

    • NMR is one of the most important analytical tools in materials science
    • Gives both specialist and non-specialist access to the appropriate level of information

    Reviews & endorsements

    "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
