With polyurethane (PU), a novel alignment medium for organic solvents is introduced and characterized, which is very robust and easy to produce on a large scale. Linear PU already constitutes an elastomer gel with several solvents based on its ability to form hydrogen bonds. Covalent cross-linking of the polymer with accelerated electrons provides an alignment medium with different properties. However, PU exhibits a number of undesired polymer signals in corresponding spectra, which ideally have to be removed spectroscopically. Within this context, we demonstrate the applicability of diffusion-filtered experiments for removal of the polymer signals. Example spectra for the usefulness of PU alignment media are provided for the common test molecules strychnine and norcamphor. |
