Two types of solid‐state 19 F NMR spectroscopy experiments are used to characterize phase‐separated hyperbranched fluoropolymer–poly(ethylene glycol) (HBFP–PEG) crosslinked networks. Mobile (soft) domains are detected in the HBFP phase by a rotor‐synchronized Hahn echo under magic‐angle spinning conditions, and rigid (hard) domains by a solid echo with no magic‐angle spinning. The mobility of chains is detected in the PEG phase by 1 H →  13 C cross‐polarization transfers with 1 H spin‐lock filters with and without magic‐angle spinning. The interface between HBFP and PEG phases is detected by a third experiment, which utilized a 19 F →  1 H–(spin diffusion)– 1 H →  13 C double transfer with 13 C solid‐echo detection. The results of these experiments show that composition‐dependent PEG inclusions in the HBFP glass rigidify on hydration, consistent with an increase in macroscopic tensile strength.
