Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the application of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy to polymer chemistry. Like many scientific fields, polymer chemistry has benefited from the introduction of NMR spectroscopy, and it is now widely used in areas such as tacticity determination, analysis of end-groups and irregular linkages, comonomer sequence determination in copolymers, and chain dynamics studies. This information is of primary importance for polymer characterization, but it also provides profound and stimulating knowledge about the reaction mechanism by which the polymer of interest is formed. The research group has devoted itself to the investigation of the polymerization mechanism, especially in stereoregular polymerization. The chapter describes the reliability and limits of NMR analysis of polymer fine structure, which should be the basis of further investigations. Some of the quantitative data on polymers—such as tacticity and monomer sequence distribution—can only be obtained by NMR spectroscopy, and thus much higher accuracy and precision are required for these analyses.
