Check out my work using Overhauser Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (ODNP) to study water dynamics near polymers! #GlobalnmrTC2022 @songihanlab https://t.co/yxeKXqyvNz

Overhauser Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (ODNP) is a novel magnetic resonance tool which combines NMR and EPR to study local (within 1 nm) water dynamics near spin-labeled surfaces. I apply ODNP to study water diffusion in aqueous polymer systems, showing that polymer crowding slows molecular water significantly.
