Elucidations of Structure and Molecular Dynamics of Complex Polymers by State-of-the-Art Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
Rongchun Zhang, Wei Chen, Toshikazu Miyoshi
Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) has been playing an indispensable role in revealing the interplay of structure and molecular dynamics in polymers at different states. In this Perspective, we first provide an overview about the fundamental spin interactions in ssNMR and then highlight some recent progress on sensitivity-enhanced ssNMR spectroscopy and in situ NMR. Moreover, we highlight ssNMR applications in the field of polymer crystallization, molecular dynamics, chemical reactions, supramolecular polymers, energy materials, and so on. Finally, our personal perspective is given on the future development at the crossroad of ssNMR and polymer science.
