Properties and applications of high surface area materials depend
on interfacial phenomena, including diffusion, sorption,
dissolution, solvation, surface reactions, catalysis, and phase
transitions. Among the physicochemical methods that give useful
information regarding these complex phenomena, nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most universal, yielding
detailed structural data regarding molecules, solids, and
interfaces. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Interfacial
Phenomena summarizes NMR research results collected over the past
three decades for a wide range of materials-from nanomaterials and
nanocomposites to biomaterials, cells, tissues, and seeds. This
book describes the applications of important new NMR spectroscopic
methods to a variety of useful materials and compares them with
results from other techniques such as adsorption, differential
scanning calorimetry, thermally stimulated depolarization current,
dielectric relaxation spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, optical
microscopy, and small-angle and wide-angle x-ray scattering. The
text explores the application of NMR spectroscopy to examine
interfacial phenomena in objects of increasing complexity,
beginning with unmodified and modified silica materials. It then
describes properties of various mixed oxides with comparisons to
individual oxides and also describes carbon materials such as
graphite and carbon nanotubes. Chapters deal with carbon-mineral
hybrids and their mosaic surface structures, and interfacial
phenomena at the surface of natural and synthetics polymers. They
also explore a variety of biosystems, which are much more complex,
including biomacromolecules (proteins, DNA, and lipids), cells and
tissues, and seeds and herbs. The authors cover trends in
interfacial phenomena investigations, and the final chapter
describes NMR and other methods used in the book. This text
presents a comprehensive description of a large array of hard and
soft materials, allowing the analysis of the structure-property
relationships and generalities on the interfacial behavior of
materials and adsorbates.
