H magnetic resonance imaging of rigid polymeric solids

Solid State Nucl Magn Reson. 1996 Jul;6(4):309-21. doi: 10.1016/0926-2040(94)00048-4.

Abstract

Implementation of the 1H magnetic resonance single-point imaging technique has provided new opportunities for the direct imaging of rigid solids, particularly semicrystalline polymers with spin-spin relaxation times, T2*, of the order of 10 microseconds and greater. Potential applications of industrial relevance in the following areas are briefly discussed and illustrated: fabricated/processed parts, photochemical degradation, oxidation, and blend characterization.
