Students used 1H and 13C NMR to characterize polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) samples prepared by free-radical and anionic polymerization.Students used 1H NMR to determine the cis/trans ratio in polymers produced by Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization (ROMP) of a Diels-Alder adduct. (France, M. B.; Uffelman, E. S. J. Chem. Educ. 1999, 661-665.)
