Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are powerful non-destructive techniques that provide valuable insights into the structure, dynamics, and interactions of materials at the molecular level. The application of these techniques to gels, a class of soft matter materials, has led to significant advancements in understanding their behavior and properties.

This comprehensive book, "NMR and MRI of Gels," provides a comprehensive guide to the use of NMR and MRI for characterizing and understanding gels. It covers the fundamental principles, experimental methods, data analysis, and applications of these techniques in various fields, including biophysics, chemistry, materials science, and medicine.
