Solid-state NMR (ssNMR) is a powerful method for studying structure and dynamics in functional polymers. HYPERFAST 2 explores how new techniques such as hyperpolarisation and ultrafast magic-angle spinning (MAS) can enhance sensitivity and resolution, enabling more detailed insights into polymer systems.
Application to composite materials: improving the view into polymer interfaces
While ssNMR offers unique advantages for analysing polymers and interfacial structures, its low mass sensitivity limits broader application. This project builds on recent developments in ultrafast MAS to increase spectroscopic resolution and chemical differentiation in polymer composites.
HYPERFAST 2 applies advanced ssNMR to investigate polymer–fibre interfaces. These interphases are crucial to understanding material performance, and also play a role in how composites can be recovered and recycled at end of life.
Part of a shared scientific foundation
HYPERFAST 2 contributes to the broader DPI programme Enabling Tools & Technologies, which supports polymer innovation with advanced characterisation methods. The project reflects DPI’s pre-competitive, collaborative and industry-driven approach to long-term materials research.
