โฆ Synopsis
Historically, the results of studies of the motional processes present in polymers above the glass transition temperature ลฝ .
ลฝ . T by proton NMR spin-lattice relaxation in either the laboratory or rotating frames T or T have shown poor
agreement with the results from similar studies carried out using other techniques such as dielectric or mechanical relaxation. We believe that this is mainly because of the complication of the NMR results due to magnetisation transport, either by spin diffusion or by bulk diffusion of the polymer. We suggest a novel approach to the analysis of proton NMR relaxation data from a motionally heterogeneous polymer, and show that the results of such an analysis are intrinsically reasonable and of the form expected for dielectric or mechanical relaxation.

It has recently become more widely appreciated that the presence of rotational diffusional anisotropy in proteins and other macromolecules can have a significant affect on the interpretation of NMR relaxation data in terms of molecular motion. In this paper, we show how commonly used NMR relaxation
