Solid-state (ss) NMR spectroscopy is the one important characterization tool to understand molecular dynamics, molecular interaction, and phase structure of semicrystalline and glassy polymers in bulk systems. Anisotropic chain dynamics1 leads to higher crystallinity and longer lamellae thickness, and better processibility and high-performance materials for several semicrystalline polymers, e.g., polyethylene and polypropylene. Nowadays, plastic pollution is significant problem around the world. Developing recyclable polyolefins is seeking in academic and industrial research. Here, we will present how ssNMR spectroscopy is useful for studying novel polyolefins which show potential sustainability.
