Course Description
This course is designed to introduce the industrial scientist to the concepts of Solid State NMR (SSNMR) and how it can be applied to polymer and material characterization and product development. Experimental considerations and techniques will be discussed which define the type of structural and molecular dynamic information which can be obtained and used to develop Structure/Property relationships.
Target Audience
Industrial scientists who want to learn how solid state NMR can be applied to real world problems associated with production and product development
