Study of interfaces in multicomponent materials by solid-state NMR techniques

Solid State NMR is a powerful tool for investigating the microscopic properties of organic-inorganic multicomponent materials. The aim of my research was to investigate the different kinds of interactions in these materials, and especially at the interface between the organic and inorganic component. Various experiments have been devised based on the different type of nucleus observed such as 1H, 13C, 29Si and the different nuclear properties measured like isotropic chemical shift, homo- and hetero-nuclear dipolar coupling and the different kinds of relaxation times, such as T1, T2, T1ρ
