TL;DR: It was found that the hydrocolloids do not prevent KHT nucleation, and these compounds delay or even arrest the outgrowth of the crystals to a macroscopic, visual size.

TL;DR: The film formation of acrylic latex dispersions, containing different amounts of carboxylic acid functional groups by the incorporation of methacrylic acid (MAA), was studied with GARField 1H NMR at various relative humidities and confirmed the role of car boxylic Acid groups in hydrogen bonding and plasticization of the copolymers.

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation of canvas paintings was investigated using a combination of neutron radiography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging, and it was observed that lining a painting with an extra canvas results in a damping effect: i.e. absorption and drying are significantly slowed down.

TL;DR: GARField 1H NMR relaxometry experiments were done to study the drying process of two latices with different polymer Tg and to elucidate water mobility behavior during this process.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of carboxylic acid functionalities on the change in polymer mobility due to water uptake was investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis, which indicated the presence of polymer domains with different hardness.
