A comprehensive, practical approach to three powerful methods ofpolymer analysis and characterization
This book serves as a complete compendium of three importantmethods widely used for the characterization of synthetic andnatural polymers--light scattering, size exclusionchromatography (SEC), and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation(A4F). Featuring numerous up-to-date examples of experimentalresults obtained by light scattering, SEC, and A4F measurements,Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and Asymmetric FlowField Flow Fractionation takes an all-in-one approach to deliver acomplete and thorough explanation of the principles, theories, andinstrumentation needed to characterize polymers from the viewpointof their molar mass distribution, size, branching, and aggregation.This comprehensive resource:
* Is the only book gathering light scattering, size exclusionchromatography, and asymmetric flow field flow fractionation into asingle text
* Systematically compares results of size exclusion chromatographywith results of asymmetric flow field flow fractionation, and howthese two methods complement each other
* Provides in-depth guidelines for reproducible and correctdetermination of molar mass and molecular size of polymers usingSEC or A4F coupled with a multi-angle light scattering detector
* Offers a detailed overview of the methodology, detection, andcharacterization of polymer branching
Light Scattering, Size Exclusion Chromatography and AsymmetricFlow Field Flow Fractionation should be of great interest to allthose engaged in the polymer analysis and characterization inindustrial and university research, as well as in manufacturingquality control laboratories. Both beginners and experienced canconfidently rely on this volume to confirm their own understandingor to help interpret their results.

Über Autor(innen)

Stepan Podzimek, an author or coauthor of forty scientificpapers, works as a head of the Department of Analytical andPhysical Chemistry at SYNPO, a Czech R&D company, and as aprofessor at the Institute of Chemistry and Technology ofMacromolecular Materials at the University of Pardubice. He hasbeen working in the field of polymer analysis and characterizationfor twenty-five years. His research interests includecharacterization of molecular and chemical structure of syntheticand natural polymers using size exclusion chromatography, liquidchromatography, asymmetric flow field flow fractionation, lightscattering, viscometry, mass spectroscopy, and study ofstructure-property relationships. In particular, he has focused onthe characterization of branched polymers.
