Molecular dynamics in solid polymers

NMR methods capable of obtaining information about molecular dynamics of synthetic polymers are discussed. The analysis of the behavior of temperature is one of the method for probing molecular dynamics using solid-state NMR. Some applications of the methods for studying molecular dynamics in solid materials are also presented. Other NMR interactions such as quadrupolar or dipolar can also be used for probing molecular motions. In the case of the dipolar interaction, NMR methods such as second moment calculations and studies of the linewidth as a function of temperature, allow obtaining information about the rates and activation energies of molecular motions.
