OverviewNMR imaging of materials is a field of increasing importance. Applications range fundamental science like the characterization of fluid transport in porous rock, catalyst pellets, and hemodialyzers to 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 of imaging 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, imaging methods 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.

Table of ContentsReviews`Review from previous edition This is one of the very few MRI monographs not focused on biomedical applications, and perhaps the only one with a specific emphasis on materials and engineering applications...the compilation of topics is quite extensive, and 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.' K. Momot, Sektion Kernresonanzspektroskopie, Universitaet Ulm `Bluemich has delivered the first text for this field, an excellent and thorough treatment which will serve to help grow research in materials MRI...For students of NMR imaging of materials, this book is right on-target.' M.S. Conradi, Review of Scientific Instruments `...a valuable new addition to the existing library of books in NMR imaging outside of clinical medicine...' E. Fukushima, ChemPhysChem I am pleased to be able to recommend this book not just to NMR imaging specialists but also to a broader range of materials scientists. Postgraduate students should find it particularly useful. Contemporary Physics The use of the book is aided greatly by the summaries at the top of the chapters and sections, which much simplify the use of the book as reference. Applied Rheology Its outstanding features are an in-depth treatment of solid-state NMR concepts as a necessary prerequisite to imaging of materials, an extensive chapter on image contrast, and an impressive coverage of recent literature, making this text a valuable work of reference. Applied Rheology Blumich's book represents one of the few on NMR imaging outside the biomedical domain and the only one explicitly dedicated to materials science applications.
