Abstract

1H-, 13C-, 23Na-solid state NMR measurements have been used to characterise the morphology and the dynamics of several NaSCN-PEO mixtures. Selective 13C-MAS experiments allowed to determine the composition of the (PEO)nNaSCN samples in terms of the different phases present, as well as the real stoichiometry of the crystalline complex. 1H- and 13C-spin-lattice relaxation times provided estimates of the dimensions of the different domains and gave information on the dynamics of the polymer chains. 23Na-MAS spectra and 2D nutation experiments allowed to individuate the presence of different environments for the sodium cations on the basis of their quadrupolar interactions.
