For examine anti-degradation factors of acetylated wood, acetylated wood was incubated on Trametes versicolor. The laccase activity was examined in broth culture and solid fermentation that contain acetylated chips. The change of acetyl groups and chemical composition in the acetylated wood having massloss analysed by $^{13}C$-CP/MAS NMR. The laccase activity was detected in broth culture. When the T. versicolor contact to acetylated wood directly, the laccase activity was very low and couldn't maintain during test periods. Through the analysing of $^{13}C$-CP/MAS NMR, the acetylation took place carbohydrates as well as lignin and hydroxyl group of amorphous region was more easily substituted that of crystalline region The spectral analyses of $^{13}C$-CP/MAS NMR were shown that introduced acetyl bond was stable against fungal attack.

The structural geometry of $[N(CH_3)_4]_2CdCl_4$ in a hexagonal phase is studied by $^1H$ MAS NMR, $^{13}C$ CP/MAS NMR, and $^{14}N$ NMR. The changes in the chemical shifts for $^{13}C$ and $^{14}N$ in the hexagonal phase are explained by the structural geometry. In addition, the temperature dependencies of the spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame $T_{1{\rho}}$ for $^1H$ MAS NMR and $^{13}C$ CP/MAS NMR are measured.

$La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$ colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) powders and pellets were synthesized by sol-gel process. The structural changes were investigated by FT-IR, CP/MAS $^{13}C$ solid state NMR spectroscopy and XRD. The particle characterization, microstructure of sintered samples, and cation composition of gel powders were studied by FE-SEM/EDS, TEM and ICP-AES. The structure refinement reveals that $La_{0.5}Ca_{0.5}MnO_3$ has orthorhombic, perovskite type unit cell. The magnetic characterizations were identified through measurement of magnetic moment by VSM.

Functionalized SAB-15 samples by octadecyltrimethoxysilane (OTC) were studied by 13C magic angle spinning (MAS) cross polarization (CP) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In the SBA-15 sample fully functionalized by 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) and OTC in 1:1 molar ratio, octadecyl chains were observed to have, on average, more trans conformation than those in the SBA-15 samples fully modified by OTC only. Our results confirm that long chain molecules tend to organize themselves better in the co-presence of short chain molecules on the surface of mesoporous materials by packing of the different length chains in an interdigitized fashion even when the short chains are long enough to have three carbons and a functional group at the ends. In addition, our results indicate that solid-state 13C CP MAS NMR spectroscopy is a simple and non-destructive method to probe the molecular structures of the domains composed of long alkyl chains.

Multinuclear solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments were performed to investigate the local structure changes of nanoporous silica during hydrothermal treatment and surface modification with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTES). The nanoporous silica was prepared by sol-gel polymerization using inexpensive sodium silicate as a silica precursor. Using $^1H$ magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectra, the hydroxyl groups, which play an important role in surface reactions, were probed. Various silicon sites such as $Q^2$, $Q^3$, $Q^4$, $T^2$, and $T^3$ were identified with $^{29}Si$ cross polarization (CP) MAS NMR spectra and quantified with $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR spectra. The results indicated that about 25% of the silica surface was modified. $^1H$ and $^{29}Si$ NMR data proved that the hydrothermal treatment induced dehydration and dehyroxylation. The $^{13}C$ CP MAS and $^1H$ MAS NMR spectra of 3-APTES attached on the surface of nanoporous silica revealed that the amines of the 3-aminopropyl groups were in the chemical state of ${NH_3}^+$ rather than $NH_2$.

Miscibility and morphology in blends of bisphenol-A type polycarbonate and poly (ester-ether) elastomer with different compositions are studied by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. $^{13}$ C Solid-state NMR of CP/MAS/TOSS/DD, CP/MAS/DD, inversion recovery CP/MAS/DD, and 2D rotor driven spin diffusion techniques are used to identify the miscibility, morphology, and transesterification in blends. The blends of PC /BT elastomer with 15% to 42% of soft segment seem to be single phase miscible mixing and those of PC/PBT and PC/PBT elastomer with 62% of soft segment are cocontinuous two phase immiscible mixing. No significant transesterification reactions are observed in blends with different compositions.

Carbon-13 CP-MAS NMR techniques were used to investigate dynamics of new combined type liquid crystalline polymers, poly[oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-2-{6-(4-(4-butylphenylazo)phenoxy)hexyloxy}terephthaloyl] and poly[oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-2-{10-(4-(4-butylphenylazo)phenoxy)decyloxy}terephthaloyl]. Noticeable mobility change of either aromatic groups or methylene groups is not detected between 25 ℃ and 82 ℃ from 13C spinlattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T1ρ(C)) and contact time array experiments. However, line shape analysis shows the increase of mobility of methylene carbons in poly[oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-2-{6-(4-(4-butylphenylazo)phenoxy)hexyloxy}terephthaloyl] at higher temperature. The dynamics of side chanis does not seem to be affected in our experimental temperature range by the length of aliphatic chain which is connecting the side chain group to the main chain.

The $BaTiO_3$ powders and thin films were prepared by an alkoxide modified sol-gel process (polymerization-complex route) using ethylene glycol. The stable starting (Ba-Ti)-mixed metal organic sol was made by addition of acetylacetone. The $BaTiO_3$ powders, which had a particle size of 40~77 nm, were crystallized from an amorphous to a tetragonal phase on annealing at 700 and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. From FT-IR, solid-state $^{13}C$ CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffractometry, the trace of the Ba-Ti-oxycarbonate phase first appeared at $400^{\circ}C$. Hydrolyzed sol was spin coated on a quartz wafer at 3500 rpm for 60 s and pyrolyzed at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. After heat treatment, the coated layer became dense and smooth.

Donepezil hydrochloride is a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor that is used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease to improve the cognitive performance. It shows different crystalline forms including hydrates. Therefore, it is very important to confirm the polymorphic forms in the formulations of pharmaceutical materials because polymorphs of the same drug often exhibit significant differences in solubility, bioavailability, processability and physical/chemical stability. In this paper, four different forms of donepezil hydrochloride were prepared and characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This study showed that solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for obtaining structural information and the polymorphology of pharmaceutical solids.
