Abstract
The use of high-power proton decoupling has enabled highly-resolved spectra of fluorine polymers to be recorded, as is exemplified herein for semicrystalline poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). By means of high MAS speeds (up to 17 kHz), the spinning sidebands are removed from the whole of the relevant chemical shift range. For spectra of the crystalline regions of the polymer, the high-power decoupling is necessary, though its effect is not large. Various relaxation techniques have been used to examine the semicrystallinity and the polymorphism of PVDF, with special pulse sequences used to discriminate between the various domains. Different chemical shifts have been observed for the signals of the amorphous and crystalline phases. Those of the more immobile parts cover a substantial range.
