Fluorine-19 (19F) NMR is the primary characterization technique for fluorinated materials, which are widely used in advanced applications, such as energy storage, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and optical coatings. In this webinar, we will introduce the basic principle of [NMR](https://covalent.com/techniques/chemical-analysis/nuclear-magnetic-resonance-spectroscopy-nmr/), discuss the key characteristics of fluorine NMR and showcase its capabilities in understanding the molecular structure of fluoropolymers. ## Who should attend? This webinar is designed for researchers and engineers looking to advance their knowledge and skills in analytical chemistry and polymer characterization. Anyone interested in learning more about quantitative and structural analysis of chemicals will benefit from the webinar. ## What You’ll Learn About NMR: - How does this technique work? - What are its advantages and disadvantages? - What are the common detection modes and how to prepare a NMR sample? - How to read an NMR spectrum? - What structural information NMR can obtain? How is it relevant to material properties and real-world applications? ## About NMR Nuclear magnetic resonance is a powerful analytical chemistry technique which detects the magnetic spin of the selected isotope. The spin response is highly dependent on the bonding environment. The common applications in industrial and R&D scenarios include molecular structure identification, purity analysis, monitoring reaction kinetics and studying material degradation. The common isotopes of detection are 1H, 13C, 19F, 29Si and 31P. Specifically, proton and fluorine are the two most sensitive isotopes and are routinely used for quantitative and trace level analysis. NMR is fast, non-destructive and only requires milligram level of sample.
