Segmental Anisotropy in Strained Elastomers Detected with a Portable NMR Scanner
Single-side NMR is particularly suitable for measurements of segmental anisotropy induced in elastomers by uniaxial forces or local strain. Proton transverse nuclear magnetic relaxation was investigated with the NMR-MOUSE by recording the Hahn-echo decay in cross-linked natural rubber bands. This provided information on the dependence of the Hahn-echo decay on the angle between the direction …

Characterization of Cross-link Density in Technical Elastomers by the NMR-MOUSE
NMR is a powerful tool in characterizing cross-link density in elastomers. Conventional NMR, however, restricts the sample geometry and does not allow measurements in presence of ferromagnetic materials. The concept of the MOUSE (mobile universal surface explorer) circumvents these restrictions. This surface sensitive method deals with rather inhomogeneous magnetic fields instead of the highly homogeneous fields normally used in …

NMR Imaging of Elastomers: A Review
From curiosity driven investigations about 10 years ago NMR imaging of materials has developed into a useful tool for characterization of polymers, in particular of elastomer products. A clear indicator of this development is the increasing number of imaging spectrometers in use at industrial research and quality-control laboratories. Typical applications of NMR imaging to elastomers …
