Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive, practical approach to three powerful methods of polymer analysis and characterization  This book serves as a complete compendium of three important methods widely used for the characterization of synthetic and natural polymers-light scattering, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (A4F). Featuring numerous up-to-date examples of experimental results obtained by light scattering, SEC, and A4F measurements, Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and Asymmetric Flow Field Flow Fractionation takes an all-in-one approach to
