Summary
Know how to analyse and characterise polymer and inorganic materials as an expert 1- Study of IR-Raman vibrational spectroscopy 2- Thermal analyses & DSC NMR: Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for analysing amorphous, crystalline and semi-crystalline materials on an atomic scale. This course will cover the principles of different solid-state NMR approaches used to study the chemical structure of solids, as well as their local structure and any dynamic phenomena (molecular movements) present. Such approaches will be illustrated in the case of organic molecular materials, polymer materials, inorganic compounds, hybrid materials and organic/inorganic nanocomposites.
Educational goals
Make students experts on the characterisation and analysis of polymer and inorganic materials. NMR: The first objective of this course is to understand the difference in appearance between NMR spectra obtained in a solid and solution state, and, in particular, the link with several nuclear interactions involved in the appearance of these spectra. Based on these differences, experimental approaches used to obtain so-called "high resolution" solid-state NMR spectra will be introduced. Such spectra are used to determine the chemical structure of solid-state compounds. Secondly, we will illustrate how these solid-state nuclear interactions can be exploited to study the near-atomic environment and local order, including in the case of amorphous solid materials. Finally, examples of the use of solid-state NMR for the study of molecular movements on distinct time scales will be presented and their involvement in the understanding of the macroscopic behaviour of these materials will be covered.
