Modern Methods of Polymer Characterization, 2nd Edition

This book, like the first edition, presents and discusses in detail the methods used for characterization of polymers. In addition to theory and basic principles, selected applications, and the instrumentation and apparatus used in polymer characterization are described in detail. Thorough referencing will refer interested readers to relevant primary literature.

Some of the methods covered include polymer separations and characterization by size exclusion and interaction chromatography, characterization of polyelectrolytes, characterization of long chain branching, NMR and mass spectrometry for polymer characterization, Light, X-ray, and neutron scattering of polymers, microscopy, and thermal analysis of polymers.
