摘要

A combination of H-1 and Na-23 NMR is used to probe the dynamic state of water in gelatine gels as the water content is lowered from 70% to dryness. A sharp increase in the proton and sodium transverse relaxation rates is observed as the water content falls from 20 to 15% while the proton longitudinal and dipolar cross relaxation rates show a maximum at ca, 15%. We show that these observations can be understood if monolayer coverage occurs at 15% and multilayers of less strongly interacting hydration water are formed between 15 and 20%.
