  1. 6.1 Low Field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance High Field (Resolution) NMR: 7.5 T < B < 37 T Study of chemical structures, reactions (only solution) Study of physical structures (solid, liquid, gel, solution, suspension, emulsion) Low Field (Resolution) NMR: 0.37 T < B < 2.43 T Hydrogen B0 = 0 mi(permanent magnetic momentum) H H H H H H H H H H H H

  6. PORES CONFINED WATER WATER MOLECULE = x x HOMOGENEOUS HYDROGEL EXTERNAL WATER “Bound” water molecules: SHORT RELAXATION TIME (T2) T2≤ 300 ms “Free” water molecules: LONG RELAXATION TIME (T2) T2~ 2200 ms (25°C) It can be demonstrated1 that T2 f(x) Effect of environment on T2

  7. 1) Diffusion between bulk and surface much faster than relaxation 2) If fb≈ 1 and fs≈ 0 (x > 10 nm) 3) T2<< T2b (≈ 2200 ms T = 25°C, B = 0.47 tesla) TWO FRACTION – FAST EXCHANGE MODEL2 x T2b T2s Water molecule

  8. T2b = 2200 ms

  12. It can be demonstrated that the for small td, the following relation holds3: td = diffusion time (= D-d/3) D(td) = water self diffusion coefficient inside the hydrogel at td D0 = water self diffusion coefficient

  13. Latour4 proposed the following expression holding for every td • = characteristic time a = network tortuosity

  14. Water diffusion coefficient (DH2O) dependence on temperature (T)5
