The NMR of Polymers

In the time since this book was written, the application of NMR in the study of polymers has continued to develop rapidly. The main trends of the work have remained as before, namely, the study of the structure of polymers, molecular motion in them, and chemical conversions of high-molecular-weight substances. How­ ever, as a result of the refinement of experimental techniques and development of the theory, new progress has been achieved, par­ ticularly in the NMR spectroscopy of polymer solutions. We therefore decided that it was worthwhile to provide an ad­ ditionallist of literature, covering papers published in 1965, 1966, and the beginning of 1967. By using the bibliographic directory appended to the list, the reader can readily find references to the latest literature for all sections of the book. I. Ya. Slonim A. N.
