Description
Polymer laboratories use a variety of analytical techniques to determine the properties and characteristics of polymers in order to select the best material for a specific purpose and to determine why a material has failed. This volume describes a range of analytical techniques for compositional analysis, quality control and failure analysis of polymeric materials. The author draws from experience of commercial polymer laboratories to provide case studies that represent the full range of problems which arise and situations which occur. Containing reference tables of the physical properties of polymers, this is a practical guide for those working in polymer laboratories in analysis or product development.
