Closing Remarks; AcknowledgementReferencesWritten by expert contributors from the academic and industrial sectors, this book presents traditional and modern approaches to polymer characterization and analysis. The emphasis is on pragmatics, problem solving and property determination; real-world applications provide a context for key concepts. The characterizations focus on organic polymer and polymer product microstructure and composition.-Approaches molecular characterization and analysis of polymers from the viewpoint of problem-solving and polymer property characterization, rather than from a technique championing approComprehensive analytical chemistry ;v. 53.PolymersAnalysisChemistryPolymersAnalysis.Chemistry.547.70442VG 2400rvkVG 4520rvkChalmers John M1682916Meier Robert J102516MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911006892403321Molecular characterization and analysis of polymers4390413UNINA
