A new technique based on the Goldman-Shen pulse sequence with varying preparation interval is proposed for the study of domain morphology of segmented polyurethanes. The results of numerical calculations of the magnetization recovery in different models of domain morphology show that the method provides new information about the domain morphology which is beyond the reach of the conventional Goldman-Shen experiment. A close agreement of the theoretical predictions with the experimental data on samples of segmented polyurethanes with a fixed molecular mass of the hard blocks and variable molecular mass of the soft blocks reinforces the above statement. The resulting structural parameters obtained by this new NMR technique are compared with the data from the small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) method.

D014965	X-Rays	Penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release radiant energy. X-ray wavelengths range from 1 pm to 10 nm. Hard X-rays are the higher energy, shorter wavelength X-rays. Soft x-rays or Grenz rays are less energetic and longer in wavelength. The short wavelength end of the X-ray spectrum overlaps the GAMMA RAYS wavelength range. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
