Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Analysis

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Analysis
The use of solid state NMR.

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy utilizes the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei to provide insights into the chemical composition, structure, and kinetics of materials. CD BioSustainable has mastered high-field NMR technology to provide molecular structural characterization, quantitative compositional analysis, degradation mechanism studies, and structure-property relationship analysis for environmentally friendly materials.

What is NMR Analysis?

NMR detects the magnetic characteristics of nuclei such as ¹H, ¹³C, and ⁷Li in a strong magnetic field. Their resonance frequencies depend on their local chemical environment.

Using radiofrequency pulses and signal detection, NMR reveals material structure and dynamics. Methods including MAS NMR and multi-dimensional NMR achieve high-resolution structural data even for disordered samples.

NMR in Environment-friendly Materials Performance Analysis

  • Solid-state NMR
    Solid-state NMR is a cornerstone of materials characterization, as it allows for the analysis of both crystalline and amorphous solids without the need for long-range order. By utilizing techniques like MAS NMR and multi-dimensional experiments, high-resolution spectra can be obtained, enabling the separation of overlapping signals and the detailed analysis of local structures and dynamics.
  • In situ and ex situ NMR
    NMR analysis can be conducted either ex situ on extracted samples or in situ during the operation of a device or system. In situ NMR offers the unique advantage of monitoring changes in real-time, while ex situ analysis allows for more comprehensive characterization without the constraints of an operating environment.
  • Specialized NMR Experiments
    Researchers often design and implement customized NMR experiments to extract the most relevant information for a specific environment-friendly material. This may include techniques like cross-polarization, which enhances sensitivity and provides insights into spatial proximities, or the utilization of paramagnetic interactions to gain a deeper understanding of local environments.
