Twenty-five papers based on talks given at the June 1988 conference present an overview and address various aspects of 13C CP/MAS applications, deuterium NMR, multinuclear CP/MAS, and imaging of polymers. Together they constitute an extensive introduction, presenting methods that can be widely applied to delineate molecular and microscopic behavior and open up new vistas of research.
