Asphaltenes are the most polar oil components with molecular weights between 500 and 1000 Da, which primarily consist of carbons and hydrogens, some heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, sulphur, oxygen and traces of nickel, vanadium and iron. Owing to their extreme complexity, it is almost impossible to completely identify all the compounds present in asphaltene samples. Various analytical techniques and approaches were used to characterize asphaltenes but their structure and composition are still a matter of thorough investigations. NMR spectroscopy can reveal useful information on asphaltene molecular architecture and aggregation process. In that respect, one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques have widely been employed. Although NMR spectra of these complex mixtures are difficult to interpret, they still can provide valuable data, especially in combination with statistical methods. Some distinctive examples of using NMR spectroscopy to study asphaltenes are given in this review.

The stability and the degradation of polymers in physiological conditions are very important issues in biomedical applications. The copolymer of hyaluronic acid and poly-D,L-lactic acid (made available in a product called DAC®) produces a hydrogel which retains the hydrophobic character of the poly-D,L-lactide sidechains and the hydrophilic character of a hyaluronic acid backbone. This hydrogel is a suitable device for the coating of orthopedic implants with structured surfaces. In fact, this gel creates a temporary barrier to bacterial adhesion by inhibiting colonization, thus preventing the formation of the biofilm and the onset of an infection. Reabsorbed in about 72 h after the implant, this hydrogel does not hinder bone growth processes. In the need to assess stability and degradation of both the hyaluronan backbone and of the polylactic chains along time and temperature, we identified NMR spectroscopy as a privileged technique for the characterization of the released species, and we applied diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY-NMR) for the investigation of molecular weight dispersion. Our diffusion studies of DAC® in physiological conditions provided a full understanding of the product degradation by overcoming the limitations observed in applying classical chromatography approaches by gel permeation UV.

Potassium-graphite (C8K) reduces phenyltrichlorosilane to give polyphenylsilynes in high yields. Branched copolysilanes have been prepared via reductive coupling of phenyltrichlorosilane and diorganodichlorosilanes with C8K. Polymers of this type are also obtained by reductive coupling of triflate substituted polysilanes with C8K. The soluble polymers and copolymers with molecular weights in the range ≈ 4000 to 10000 have been characterized by 29Si-NMR spectroscopy.

The hydrodynamic diameter of Aum(pMBA)n clusters in aqueous media was determined by DOSY NMR spectroscopy. The apparent size of the cluster was shown to depend on the counter ion of the deprotonated pMBA− ligand.
