Synopsis

Designed to provide both an introduction and a practical guide to all aspects of polymer analysis, this book covers not only the various types of polymer now in commercial use, but also the minor non-polymeric components of their formulation, whether added deliberately, for example to improve service life, or present through the action of adventitious moisture, unreacted monomer, or excess solvent. All analytical techniques have been included, from the older, classical techniques of both elemental and functional group analysis, to the most modern physical techniques, including the various types of spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, ozoneolysis, thermal methods, fractionation, and electron probe microanalysis. In each case, the technique is explained in detail, allowing the analyst to develop the considerable range of skills required to provide as complete a picture as possible of the polymer's structure. The extensive use of tables, the inclusion of numerous spectra and chemical formulae, and a comprehensive reference list ensure that this book will be of lasting use, for both the student and the practising analytical chemist.
