The Corset Effect, Field-Cycling NMR Relaxometry, Transverse NMR Relaxation, Field-Gradient NMR Diffusometry, and Incoherent Neutron Scattering

Abstract

The corset effect is an experimentally established dynamic confinement phenomenon first observed by field-cycling NMR relaxometry and transverse NMR relaxation in polymer melts in pores with dimensions ranging from a few nanometers up to 0.06 micrometers or even more. The techniques employed are specifically sensitive to rotational fluctuations of polymer segments. It will be shown that neutron scattering and other methods probing translational fluctuations are not suitable for the detection of this phenomenon.
