Biodegradable blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and aromatic-aliphatic co-polyester Ecoflex® were studied by means of basic solid-state NMR techniques. ^{13}C NMR spectra pointed at existence of individual components in blends, however, existence of regions in which components affect each other was also deduced from changes of shape of some spectral lines. Analysis of proton spin-lattice relaxation process in laboratory frame running in blends with different fractions of components revealed poor miscibility of these polymers. The domain size of components was calculated based on the values of spin-lattice relaxation times in laboratory frame. Spin-lattice relaxation process in the rotating frame of Ecoflex® proton spin system was only slightly influenced by the blending. Incompatibility of these polymers was confirmed by all realized experiments.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a semicrystalline biodegradable polymer with chains consisting of methyl (CH₃), methylene (CH₂), methine (CH) and carbonyl (CO) groups. The ¹H-¹³C cross polarization NMR measurements were performed on an as-supplied powder PHB sample at a magic-angle spinning rate of 10 kHz. The measured cross polarization build-up curves and their analysis provided information on the dynamics of ¹H-¹³C NMR cross polarization in functional groups with directly bonded hydrogens. The measurements required setting up the Hartmann-Hahn condition, which was inferred from the Hartmann-Hahn matching profiles measured for each functional group. The cross polarization build-up curves displayed an oscillatory course, which indicates the presence of rigid ¹H-¹³C spin pairs isolated from the lattice. The frequency of the observed oscillations is directly proportional to the ¹H-¹³C dipolar coupling constant, which is related to the C-H distance and its value also reflects the mobility of particular functional groups. The values of dipolar coupling constants were derived from splittings in the Fourier transforms of cross polarization build-up curves. The mobility of particular groups was assessed with the order parameter ⟨S⟩ calculated using experimental and rigid lattice values of dipolar coupling constants.
