Synopsis

Particle size and distribution are key factors in assessing polymer chains. This volume examines a variety of recent measuring techniques, including static and dynamic light scattering methods, fractionation methods, and electrophoretic and electroacoustic separation.

About this title

Review

"The whole book reflects the current activity in measurement techniques, methods and, in a more limited amount, applications, covering a broad spectrum of subjects. There is no limitation on the materials to which the described techniques can be applied, i.e. inorganic, organic or biological, however the most of examples reported are on standard polymers, mainly polystyrene. For this reason, the interest of the polymer community for it can be high. In the first section, improved and novel instrumentations for static and dynamic light scattering are described. . . . The application of several fractionation methods to colloidal systems is the topic of the second section. . . . Capillary electrophoresis, electroacoustic measurements, acoustic spectroscopy and phase analysis light scattering (PALS) are the topics illustrated in the last section. This collection will be surely a useful guide for practitioners in the field of particle size analysis."--Polymer News

"Papers from a symposium of the August 1996 American Chemical Society meeting (Orlando, Florida) reflect current activities in measurement techniques, methodology and application to a range of particulate systems and dispersions. Arrangement is in three sections on static and dynamic light scattering methods and their application to a range of colloidal systems; electrophoretic and electroacoustic separation; and analysis and characterization of particles in dilute and concentrated regimes. Primarily geared toward industrial chemists; includes several novel instrumental techniques."--SciTech Book News
