This book enables the reader to obtain an objective assessment and comparison of the most appropriate polymer molecular characterisation or analysis tool according to the problem-solving circumstance.
- 1. A unique book in that it approaches Molecular Characterization and Analysis of Polymers from the viewpoint of problem solving and polymer property characterization, rather than from a technique championing approach.
- 2. Focuses on providing a means to ascertaining the optimum approach or technique(s) to solve a problem/measure a property, and thereby develop an analytical competence in the molecular characterization and analysis of real-world polymer products.
- 3. This book provides a background to polymer chemistry and microstructure, discussions of polymer chain, morphology, degradation, and product failure and additive analysis, and considers the supporting roles of modelling and high-throughput analysis.
