The method is based on previously reported work that exploits different proton relaxation properties for different domains of an heterogeneous system. However, unlike the original method that obtained subspectra through a trial-and-error approach, the method here presented solves the problem mathematically, thus avoiding the time-consuming and non-rigorous trial-and-error step. The method is applied to mixtures of three and four polymers and to a more complex system: cork cell walls. As expected, as the number of components increases, the sharing of relaxation properties between different components is increasingly probable, either due to incidental coincidence of relaxation times or to specific interactions and intimate mixing of compounds. While this hinders the calculation of the subspectra of single chemical components, it may provide useful information about inter-component interactions. This possibility was demonstrated by the application of this method to cork cell walls. Both three-component and four-component approaches showed that three domains exist in cork cell walls: carbohydrate/lignin matrix, mobile suberin close to (probably bonded to) lignin groups (about 42% w/w) and hindered suberin close to (probably bonded to) carbohydrate-OCH2O groups (about 4% w/w).</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10868562</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil, A M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopes, M H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascoal Neto, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocha, J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Very high-resolution 1H MAS NMR of a natural polymeric material</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1H MAS NMR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cellulose</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Relaxation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">suberin</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59-67</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The use of ultrafast magic angle spinning (&amp;gt;30 kHz) in tandem with delayed echo acquisition is shown to yield very high-resolution 1H MAS NMR spectra of complex natural organic materials. For the first time, very high-resolution 1H MAS NMR spectra are reported for cork and wood components, two natural materials with great economic importance. The effect of the spinning rate on the 1H NMR spectra was evaluated with single-pulse acquisition and delayed-echo acquisition. The delayed-echo acquisition spectra presented linewidths as sharp as 67 and 25 Hz. The narrow peaks, characterised by proton spin–spin and spin–lattice relaxation, were assigned to the isotropic chemical shifts and the general spectral features were shown to correlate with the sample chemical structure. The tentative assignments of cork 1H MAS NMR signals were presented.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
