Polymer Molecular Weights, (Part 1)

by Philip E. Slade

This two-part book incorporates in one definitive publication the major techniques used to determine the molecular weights of polymers as presented by some of the most respected authorities in the field. Part I of this practical guide covers membrane osmometry, end group determinations, absolute colligative property methods, and light-scattering methods. Discussions on theoretical background are included for every experimental procedure, as are examples of applications in polymeric processes. The information contained in Polymer Molecular Weights cannot be found in any other single publication, making it the most convenient source of information on molecular weight measurement for polymer chemists and physicists, analytical and physical chemists, biochemists, and other scientists in the plastics and synthetic fiber industries.
