Expert insights

Dr. Bryan S. Beckingham, Assistant Professor at Auburn University and Marcel Lachenmann of Oxford Instruments

Low-cost and high-accuracy is essential for effective polymer characterization, providing an opportunity for low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to replace costlier and destructive methods. In this upcoming webinar, hear from Dr. Bryan S. Beckingham, Assistant Professor at Auburn University and Marcel Lachenmann of Oxford Instruments, on key factors that play a role in the ability of low-field NMR to analyze polymer systems in the choice of appropriate sample and spectroscopy parameters.

Key topics covered will include the impact of instrumental parameters, sample concentration and polymer molecular weight on spectral quality as evaluated through signal-to-noise-ratio, and quantitative comparisons with high-field (400 MHz) spectroscopy.

NMR and EPR SpectroscopyNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is used to resolve the local chemical environment of atomic nuclei with spin, revealing information on molecular structure, dynamic processes and chemical reactions of organic molecules, from proteins to synthetics. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) also known as electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy is used to detect and quantify paramagnetic species in a sample, including free radicals as transition metal ions. By immersing the sample in a strong magnetic field, both NMR and EPR spectrometers probe the sample with either radio waves or microwaves respectively. A range of benchtop, solid-state and time domain NMR spectrometers & EPR spectrometers are available, as well as NMR tubes, NMR solvents, software, coils, and magnets.

Research into these materials focuses on their properties, including strength, flexibility, and degradation. Advances in polymer science have enabled the development of more sustainable and high-performance materials. Explore the best polymeric material products in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.PolymersPolymers are large molecules made up of many repeat units. Natural polymers such as DNA and proteins are essential to life, whereas synthetic polymers such as polystyrene and polyethylene are used widely due to their functionality. Typical techniques for analysis include GPC, SEC, DSC, FT-IR and NMR.
