Abstract
We explore the capability of 1H NMR spectroscopy, relaxation and diffusion for the characterization of thermally-induced degradation of fresh motor oils. Temperature dependent measurements of diffusion show a weak sensitivity to thermal degradation. In contrast, both the transverse relaxation at 1H Larmor frequencies of 20 MHz and 400 MHz, as well as the longitudinal relaxation at 60 kHz showed to be sensitive to thermally-induced effects at measured temperatures within the range −10 °C to 30 °C. Results show that the highest sensitivity significance can be reached by fast field-cycling NMR relaxometry measurements at low magnetic fields.
