PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
Imaging by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has been established in clinical diagnosis. This book will provide graduate students, scientists and engineers with an introduction to the field.
Description
NMR imaging of materials is a field of increasing importance. Applications expand from fundamental science like the characterization of fluid transport in porous rock, catalyst pellets, and hemodialyzers into various fields of engineering for process optimization and product and quality control, for example, of polymer materials, biomaterials, elastomers, and ceramics. While the results of NMR imaging are being appreciated in a growing community, the methods ofimaging are far more diverse for materials applications than for medical imaging of humans. This book provides an introduction to NMR imaging of materials covering solid-state NMR spectroscopy, imagingmethods for liquid and solid samples, and unusual NMR in terms of special approaches to spatial resolution like an NMR surface scanner. Special attention is paid to the large variety of ways to generate image contrast - the most prominent feature of NMR. The text is strong on methodology, and includes today's important application areas.
Critic Reviews
“"What an extraordinary phenomenon nuclear magnetic resonance is! ... Blumich's book is, I think, the first full-length work on NMR imaging of materials. It is a sustantial reserach monograph in the Oxford series on the physics and chemistry of materials"Materials World”
" ... the bibliography and indexing are truly excellent, which should make it an attractive reference source, not only for materials scientists, but also for many NMR spectroscopists"Angew.Chem.Int"What an extraordinary phenomenon nuclear magnetic resonance is! ...
