Most hydrocarbon resins are composed of a mixture of monomers and are rather difficult to hiUy characterize on a molecular level. The characteristics of resins are typically defined by physical properties such as softening point, color, molecular weight, melt viscosity, and solubiHty parameter. These properties predict performance characteristics and are essential in designing resins for specific appHcations. Actual characterization techniques used to define the broad molecular properties of hydrocarbon resins are Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc). 

Analytical methods iaclude thin-layer chromatography (69), gas chromatography (70), and specific methods for determining amine oxides ia detergeats (71) and foods (72). Nuclear magnetic resonance (73—75) and mass spectrometry (76) have also been used. A frequentiy used procedure for iadustrial amine oxides (77) iavolves titratioa with hydrochloric acid before and after conversion of the amine to the quaternary ammonium salt by reaction with methyl iodide. A simple, rapid quaHty control procedure has been developed for the deterrniaation of amine oxide and unreacted tertiary amine (78). 

Instmmental methods of analysis provide information about the specific composition and purity of the amines. QuaUtative information about the identity of the product (functional groups present) and quantitative analysis (amount of various components such as nitrile, amide, acid, and deterruination of unsaturation) can be obtained by infrared analysis. Gas chromatography (gc), with a Hquid phase of either Apiezon grease or Carbowax, and high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), using siHca columns and solvent systems such as isooctane, methyl tert-huty ether, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are used for quantitative analysis of fatty amine mixtures. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), both proton ( H) and carbon-13 ( C), which can be used for quaHtative and quantitative analysis, is an important method used to analyze fatty amines (8,81). 

Specific optical rotation values, [a], for starch pastes range from 180 to 220° (5), but for pure amylose and amylopectin fractions [a] is 200°. The stmcture of amylose has been estabUshed by use of x-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy (23). The latter analysis shows that the proposed stmcture (23) is consistent with the proposed ground-state conformation of the monomer D-glucopyranosyl units. Intramolecular bonding in amylose has also been investigated with nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectroscopy (24). 

When simple Hquids like naphtha are cracked, it may be possible to determine the feed components by gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (gc/ms) (30). However, when gas oil is cracked, complete analysis of the feed may not be possible. Therefore, some simple definitions are used to characterize the feed. When available, paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics (PONA) content serves as a key property. When PONA is not available, the Bureau of Mines Correlation Index (BMCI) is used. Other properties like specific gravity, ASTM distillation, viscosity, refractive index. Conradson Carbon, and Bromine Number are also used to characterize the feed. In recent years even nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been... 

As with other diffraction techniques (X-ray and electron), neutron diffraction is a nondestructive technique that can be used to determine the positions of atoms in crystalline materials. Other uses are phase identification and quantitation, residual stress measurements, and average particle-size estimations for crystalline materials. Since neutrons possess a magnetic moment, neutron diffraction is sensitive to the ordering of magnetically active atoms. It differs from many site-specific analyses, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, vibrational, and X-ray absorption spectroscopies, in that neutron diffraction provides detailed structural information averaged over thousands of A. It will be seen that the major differences between neutron diffraction and other diffiaction techniques, namely the extraordinarily... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of the solutes in clathrates and low temperature specific heat measurements are thought to be particularly promising methods for providing more detailed information on the rotational freedom of the solute molecules and their interaction with the host lattice. The absence of electron paramagnetic resonance of the oxygen molecule in a hydroquinone clathrate has already been explained on the basis of weak orientational effects by Meyer, O Brien, and van Vleck.18... 

Perhaps the most revolutionary development has been the application of on-line mass spectroscopic detection for compositional analysis. Polymer composition can be inferred from column retention time or from viscometric and other indirect detection methods, but mass spectroscopy has reduced much of the ambiguity associated with that process. Quantitation of end groups and of co-polymer composition can now be accomplished directly through mass spectroscopy. Mass spectroscopy is particularly well suited as an on-line GPC technique, since common GPC solvents interfere with other on-line detectors, including UV-VIS absorbance, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopic detectors. By contrast, common GPC solvents are readily adaptable to mass spectroscopic interfaces. No detection technique offers a combination of universality of analyte detection, specificity of information, and ease of use comparable to that of mass spectroscopy.

The objective of this study is to characterize tin-containing polymers on a molecular level by means of high field, high resolution, multinuclear Fourier Transform Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FT-NMR) (4 ). This study is generally an applied approach dealing with composition and configuration of specific formulations of the copolymer. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique that, based on the magnetic properties of nuclei, reveals information on the position of specific atoms within molecules. Other spectroscopic methods are based on the detection of fluorescence and phosphorescence (forms of light emission due to the selective excitation of atoms by previously absorbed electromagnetic radiation, rather than to the temperature of the emitter) to unveil information about the nature and the relative amount specific atoms in matter.

Several modem analytical instruments are powerful tools for the characterisation of end groups. Molecular spectroscopic techniques are commonly employed for this purpose. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS), often in combination, can be used to elucidate the end group structures for many polymer systems more traditional chemical methods, such as titration, are still in wide use, but employed more for specific applications, for example, determining acid end group levels. Nowadays, NMR spectroscopy is usually the first technique employed, providing the polymer system is soluble in organic solvents, as quantification of the levels of... 

Comonomers, such as 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV, ethylene R-unit (-CH2-CH3) in Fig. 1) and 4-hydroxybutyrate, have been incorporated in the PHB chains using specific additives in the growth medium of the bacteria [21-25]. It has been shown by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies that poly(3HB-co-3HV) has a statistically random distribution of the monomer units throughout a range of compositions varying from 0 to 90 mol % 3HV [23-26]. 

Nuclear magnetic resonance provides means to study molecular dynamics in every state of matter. When going from solid state over liquids to gases, besides mole- cular reorientations, translational diffusion occurs as well. CD4 molecule inserted into a zeolite supercage provides a new specific model system for studies of rotational and translational dynamics by deuteron NMR. 

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) and fluorescence spectroscopy can be integrated with chromatographic techniques especially in the study of ageing and degradation of terpenic materials. They can be used to study the transformation, depletion or formation of specific functional groups in the course of ageing. 

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( ll NMR) have become standards for verifying the chemistry of polyanhydrides.

Other supportive evidence for a specific water-solid interaction is available from thermal studies showing the amount of nonfreezable water [57-59], nuclear magnetic resonance [29,60-66], and diffusion studies [67,68]. The evidence is less clear, however, concerning whether there is distinct binding of water to...
