A series of UF resins and one MUF resin were studied by low-resolution 1 H-NMR. The mobility of the resin during curing could be followed by measuring the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ) with curing time. The relative curing behavior was similar to that found by traditional gel time measurements. I

β¦ Synopsis
The curing behavior of five unsaturated polyester resins with different molar ratios of styrene to the double bonds in the polyester chain (MR) was investigated. The gel time was measured according to a standard method by the Society of the Plastic Industry (SPI) and by low-resolution pulse nuclear magnetic resonance (LRP-NMR). The gel and curing times decreased and the maximum temperature of the reaction increased when the MR was decreased. The proton mobilities and populations were measured by LRP-NMR. Three components could be seen in the crosslinking reaction: styrene (very mobile, T 2 Γ 3 s), free polyester polymers (less mobile, T 2 Γ 150 ms), and cured resin (immobile, T 2 Γ 0.04 ms). The third component, cured resin, could be detected at the gel point. At this point, the proton mobilities of styrene and free polyester polymers were rapidly decreasing and the proton populations of the cured resin started to increase.

The curing reaction of four synthezized and five commercial unsaturated polyester resins were characterized by low-resolution pulse 1 H-NMR and rheological measurements. The rheological measurements were done both by steady shearing flow and oscillatory shearing flow measurements. For the synthesize

Two conformations of the cis-cyclohexano-8-crown-3 molecule were detected at 185 K. From relative 13 C NMR peak area measurements, the conformation with the O-CH 2 -O unit equatorial was found to be favoured by 4.4 Ε‘ 0.4 kJ mol 1 .
