The linear polymer poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) has a wide field of applications. However, no physical characterization in the solid state has been done. The objective of this work is to study the structural and dynamic homogeneity in three synthetic variants of PEI through Nuclear Magnetic Resonance techniques in the solid state (SSNMR). In addition, changes will be explored after the uptake of copper ion (II) by these polymeric matrices, given the importance of the heterogeneous catalysts of Cu(II) for the activation of hydrogen peroxide and degradation of pollutants with high environmental impact.
