Modern Methods of Polymer Characterization

by Howard G. Barth (Editor), Jimmy W. Mays (Editor)

Overview

Presents the methods used for characterization of polymers. In addition to theory and basic principles, the instrumentation and apparatus necessary for methods used to study the kinetic and thermodynamic interactions of a polymer with its environment are covered in detail. Some of the methods examined include polymer separations and characterization by size exclusion and high performance chromatography, inverse gas chromatography, osmometry, viscometry, ultracentrifugation, light scattering and spectroscopy.

Editorial Reviews

In addition to theory and basic principles, this practical guide details the instrumentation and apparatus necessary for methods used to study the kinetic and thermodynamic interactions of a polymer with its environment. Some of the methods examined include polymer separations and characterization by size exclusion and high performance chromatography, inverse gas chromatograpy, osmometry, viscometry, ultracentrifugation, light scattering, and spectroscopy.
