In this work, <i>solid-state</i> nuclear magnetic resonance (<i>ss</i>-NMR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and time-domain NMR (TD-NMR) experiments were combined with theoretical calculations to analyze the local chemical environments, crystalline and nanoscale organization, and molecular mobility of L-PEI materials with different molecular weights.
