It is shown that low resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometr
y (NMR) is capable of replacing chemical consuming textile analyses in
many cases. Thus the analysis of fibre blends, which is rather time c
onsuming if done acc. to DIN-regulations can be done using NMR. Beside
s time saving another benefit of this method is that there is no need
of chemicals, so no waste will be produced. By the NMR-method el en di
fferences in fibre crystallinity can be detected as well ns the so cal
led effective temperature of fibres which is important in thermosettin
g processes of synthetic fabrics.
