Jh. Yeo et al., STUDIES ON STRUCTURAL-ANALYSIS OF ORIENTE D POLYMERS BY SOLID-STATE N-15 NMR .2. STRUCTURAL-ANALYSIS OF POLYAMIDE FIBERS BY SOLID-STATE N-15 NMR, Kobunshi ronbunshu, 51(1), 1994, pp. 47-51
The N-15 CP NMR spectra of three kinds of polyamide fibers: silk fibro
in, poly(p-phenylene-terephthalamide) and poly(m-phenylene-isophthalam
ide), were observed. The fiber axes were set parallel and perpendicula
r to the applied magnetic field. The angles of the NH and NC' bonds of
the amide groups relative to the fiber axes were determined according
to the equations derived from the solid state NMR theory with the N-1
5 chemical shift tensors in the preceding paper. This analytical metho
d is very useful in the structural study of the non-crystalline domain
s in polyamide fiber.
