Comprehending the thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability and physical characteristics of polymers is key to development success. The following case studies summarize experimental methods and data ...

Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the characterization of polymers, providing unparalleled insights into molecular weights, chemical compositions, and sequence distributions.

Polyolefins are thermoplastics synthesized from ethylene and propylene, primarily sourced from oil, natural gas, and sugar cane. They constitute about 50 % of plastic consumption in Europe and ...

Traditional column calibration methods in size exclusion chromatography (SEC) often struggle with accuracy and resolution, especially for complex samples. Multi-angle light scattering (MALS) solves ...

The study of polymer fibres has increasingly benefited from the confluence of optical and mechanical characterisation techniques, which are pivotal in understanding both the microstructural and ...

"Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering and the Division of Analytical Chemistry, at the 206th National Meeting of the American Chemical ...
