Benchtop NMR spectrometer solutions for polymers sector - Monitoring and Testing - Laboratory Equipment
Spinsolve benchtop NMR spectrometers are a valuable tool to characterize polymers at different stages during production, from the structure verification of the monomers before the polymerization to quality control of the final product.
Polymers are long molecular chains made of small building blocks or monomers during a polymerisation reaction. They are found in mass-manufactured products (plastic bags, shoes, textiles, paints, adhesives, foams, etc), and also used in advanced applications, like drug delivery systems or smart surfaces (stimuli responsive polymers). Different polymers have their own properties and functionalities that strongly correlate with their molecular structure. Therefore, the control of their molecular composition and weight during the synthesis process are key for the successful design of materials optimized for defined applications. In this page we present several examples that demonstrate how Benchtop NMR spectroscopy can provide chemical and physical information useful for polymer characterization in a simple way.
