Abstract Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a method of great importance for the study of most aspects of the structure and behavior of polymers. In this review, I deal with its application to the observation of the detailed structure of polymer chains, particularly those of vinyl and diene polymers and copolymers. This is for the most part accomplished using polymer solutions, but NMR also allows one to observe chain structure and conformation in the solid state by means of magic angle spinning and high power proton decoupling.
