The most valuable part of the book focuses on multidimensional exchange NMR experiments. Chapter 7 mers, by Klaus Schmidt-Rohr and Hans Wolfgang discusses 2D and 3D methods for the determination of Spiess, Academic Press, London, San Diego, New York, exchange spectra of powders and oriented samples. The Boston, Sydney, Tokyo, 1994, 478 pp.
3D exchange spectra of oriented POM demonstrates the return of segments to the original orientation and the sequences of jumps in the helical jump model. In Chapter 8, multidimensional exchange NMR methods are Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful method described for polymers above the glass transition, and to obtain detailed information about structure, dynamare well illustrated by many examples including: POM, ics, orientation, and phase separation in polymers.
PEO, PP, PVF 2 , PC, PS, and PVAc. Chapters 9 and 10 These lessons are needed for a better understanding of discuss correlation functions and time-domain signals their materials properties on the molecular level.
for multidimensional spectra. Chapter 11 considers The reader of Multidimensional Solid-State NMR simulations and models for multidimensional exchange and Polymers, by Klaus Schmidt-Rohr and Hans Wolfspectra. Determination of order in polymers, e.g., in gang Spiess, will find it to be an excellent and well PLCs, films, and fibers is described in Chapter 12. In illustrated book. The first part (Chapters 2-5) of the particular, DECODER 13 C NMR is applied to analyze book summarizes the principles of solid-state NMR:
PET fibers and thin films. Chapter 13 describes techsemiclassical description of pulsed NMR quantum-meniques for study of magnetization diffusion, which chanical calculations of NMR time evolution, the effects allows the characterization of domain sizes and intraof rf pulses, averaging of Hamiltonians, homonuclear molecular distances in polymer blends and copolymers. polarization transfer, time-dependent perturbation, This book gives a very good overview of recent develproton-driven 13 C spin diffusion, selective excitation, opments-much of it pioneered by the authors-in MAS, zero-field NMR and Fourier theory for 1D and solid-state NMR spectroscopy and is very helpful for spectroscopists and polymer scientists. 2D NMR. A very short chapter (5) deals with basic principles of structure and dynamics of solid polymers. Chapter 6 introduces and illustrates various NMR tech-Janos Borbely niques (e.g., DRAMA, WISE, REDOR, HETCOR) for Kossuth L. University 2D and 3D separation and correlation in solids.
