Modern Size-Exclusion Liquid Chromatography

Since publication of the first edition in 1979, there have been many important advances in the field of size-exclusion chromatography. This Second Edition brings the book thoroughly up to date, with expert coverage of:

• New and emerging industrial and research applications
• Practical aspects of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and multidetector and multidimensional SEC technologies for polymer architecture and copolymer analysis
• Updated information on the latest equipment and techniques
• New best practices for the lab
• SEC in relation to polymer characterization techniques such as GPEC, LCCC, and rheology

Throughout the text, detailed examples guide you step by step through all the latest techniques and applications. With its extensive revisions and updates written by leading experts and pioneers in the field, Modern Size-Exclusion Liquid Chromatography remains the definitive resource for the broad range of researchers and scientists who use HPLC and GPC methods.
