The Application of NMR Spectroscopy to the Analysis of Automotive Plastics 750940
The application of Proton and Carbon-13 Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to the analysis of selected automotive plastics is discussed. Six nmr spectra are presented and the chemical shift values assigned to structural features for each polymer. The utility of nmr analysis for the characterization of organic polymers is illustrated by the application to the identification of polycarbonate thermoplastic and a polyurethane elastomer and to the determination of stereochemical configuration of poly(methyl methacrylate).
