โœฆ Synopsis

The NMR relaxation rates ofa class of hydrated polymers (hydrogels) have been investigated over a wide range of frequencies (0.01 to 60 MHz) and compositions. The gels comprise long chains of polytetramethylene oxide diol crosslinked by copolymers of dimethylacrylamide and methylmethacrylate. The longitudinal relaxation rate dispersion curves of these materials are very similar to those shown by human tissues and they can be altered in flexible fashion by changing the polymer content. By substitution of the water by deuterium oxide, the contribution of intermolecular cross-relaxation effects has been shown to account for two-thirds the total water relaxation rate. With their close similarity to tissue relaxation behavior, hydrogels of differing compositions are particularly well-suited to MRI phantoms and test objects. Q 1989 Academic press, Inc.

The motion of a flexible molecule in solution can be described as a Brownian motion between the different conformations that the molecule can assume. Each conformation corresponds to a local minimum of the energy surface. A simple model is given for this type of motion in relation to nuclear magnet
