High-field magic angle spinning (MAS) dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) is becoming a common technique for improving the sensitivity in NMR by the hyperpolarization of nuclear spins. Recently, we have shown that gamma irradiation is capable of creating long-lived free radicals that are amenable to MAS DNP in quartz and a variety of organic solids. Here, we demonstrate that mechanochemical ball milling is able to generate millimolar concentrations of stable radical species in diverse materials, such as polystyrene, cellulose, borosilicate glass, and fused quartz. High-field electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to obtain further insight into the nature of the radicals formed in ball milled quartz and borosilicate glass. Finally, we further show that radicals generated in quartz by ball milling can be used for solid-effect DNP. We obtained 29Si DNP enhancements of approximately 114 and 33 at 110 K and room temperature, respectively, from a sample of ball milled quartz.
