The NMR-MOUSE: quality control of elastomers.
New applications of the NMR-MOUSE (mobile universal surface explorer) to non-destructive quality control of elastomers are reported. One example concern the thermal aging of fast clutches which was probed by measurements of 1H transverse relaxation time. Novel methodological developments show that 1H double-quantum filtered NMR signals can be generated in the inhomogeneous fields of the NMR-MOUSE for characterization of residual dipolar couplings. This technique was applied to characterize reference natural rubber samples with different crosslink density and carbon black and silica fillers.
