Solid state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful method and CPMAS & static solid state NMR probes can be very valuable in many research areas:
Batteries
In semi-ordered or ordered materials, such as batteries, important transport processes can be measured. Measuring the charge transport in batteries can help understand the reason for its conductivity.
Polymers
For polymers, order, cross-linking and other local connectivity characteristics can be observed and correlated to material properties, thus enabling improved control in the chemical design process.
Crystallography
Together with mathematical chemistry, solid state NMR has become a key supplementary tool for crystallography.
Pharmaceuticals
In pharmaceutical applications the different polymorphic forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) can be distinguished. This enables the quality control of starting materials, as well as the monitoring of excipient impact, the production process, and storage of the crystal form of the API.
Proteins
Solid state NMR is becoming one of the most important tools for understanding complex insoluble protein systems, in both structural and dynamic concerns.
