Transforming polymer analysis with NMR measurements

At every stage of the polymer production process, from Research and Development (R&D) through Quality Assurance (QA) to final Quality Control (QC), accurate measurement techniques are required. A growing number of companies are discovering that benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) systems offer a cleaner, faster and more cost-effective way to measure both physical properties and chemical composition. Recent instrumentation advances now additionally enable routine reaction monitoring.

Polymeric materials are critical components in almost every industry and application from healthcare (including drug delivery, implant materials and anti-bacterial coatings), through hi-tech construction materials, to energy systems such as organic photovoltaics, fuel cells and batteries. NMR offers faster and more reproducible testing methods to assure manufacturers on the quality of their products and improve the economics of polymer manufacturing.
