This book presents to the polymer chemist illustrations of the most
recent advances in N M R characterization of polymers while at the same time
honoring Frank A. Bovey of Bell Laboratories. Dr. Bovey received the 1983
American Chemical Society Award in Applied Polymer Science, which was
sponsored by the Phillips Petroleum Company and presented at the ACS
National Meeting in Seattle in March 1983. Dr. Bovey is certainly the
pioneer of NMR studies of macromolecules and has had a profound
influence on the progress and application of NMR in elucidating the
molecular structure of macromolecules. In honor of Dr. Bovey, a number of
leading investigators in the fields of both liquid and solid state N M R have
presented their work herein. Quite different experimental manifestations of
the NMR phenomenon, which lead to either polymer sequence, dynamic, or
domain structures, are reported.
