Characterization of polymeric materials in bioapplications
During the 79th session of the Global NMR Discussion Meetings held on January 30th, 2024, via Zoom, Prof. Ann-Christin Pöppler from the University of Würzburg, Germany, gave a talk on the topic "Challenges in the characterization of polymeric materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications". The recording serves as a tutorial.
Abstract:
NMR spectroscopy is sensitive to subtle changes in local environment and dynamics over multiple length and time scales making it a versatile technique to study polymeric materials and incorporated molecules. Challenges, which will be discussed in this presentation arise from the size (distribution), rigidity and intrinsic disorder of the samples.
