We used low-resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy to study the molecular dynamics of poly (ethylene oxide), mixed with spherical silica nanoparticles [1] as well as self-assembled clay sheets (NHT) forming nacre-mimetics [2] as model materials. The decomposition of time-domain signals (FIDs) reveals three different phases of PEO with different dynamics, based on different transverse relaxation behavior [3] which are related to the strength of the dipolar coupling between proton spin pairs. Therefore, fast initial decay on the time scale of microseconds corresponds to a rigid phase with strong dipolar couplings, attributed to the intercalated part of PEO within the clay sheets or adsorbed chains on the silica surface. The intermediate phase with residual dipolar couplings and a mobile phase with faster segmental motions and a rather long T2 corresponds to free polymer chains. This study addresses the different molecular dynamics of PEO chains subject to different constraints in the two different nanocomposite structures. [1] S. Y.
