A historical overview of the role of NMR spectroscopy in macromolecular science in general and its coverage in “ Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics ” in particular is given. In the early days physics‐application to study molecular dynamics, partial alignment of macromolecules and phase separation prevailed, deduced from broad‐line solid‐state NMR. Only somewhat later, high‐resolution NMR in solution was established as an important tool for elucidating the chain microstructure. In the future, these two aspects are expected to merge.Side group liquid crystalline polymers: 2 H NMR has elucidated alignment and dynamics of these complex materials.
