Polymers under mechanical stress- an NMR investigation — •Ute Böhme1, Bo Xu2, Johannes Leisen2, Haskell W. Beckham2, and Ulrich Scheler1 — 1Leibniz Institute of Polymer Research Dresden — 2Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia
Low-field NMR using permanent magnets in Halbach arrangements permit NMR investigation without the limits present in high-field NMR. The lower field in conjunction with confined stray field permit the application of NMR, in particular relaxation NMR in a stretching apparatus and a rheometer [1,2]. Crystalline and amorphous fraction of semi-crystalline polymers are distinguished by their transverse relaxation times. Upon mechanical load the relaxation times of the amorphous fraction changes as seen in in-situ measurements on polypropylene rods. During the formation of a neck the crystalline fraction becomes more prominent.
