Polymer characterization

"Polymer characterization is the analytical branch of polymer science. The discipline is concerned with the characterization of polymeric materials on a variety of levels and this characterization typically has as a goal to improve the performance of the material. Its techniques are typically used to determine molecular mass, molecular structure, morphology, thermal properties, and mechanical properties. This book explains physical principles and characterization without heavy theory and gives special emphasis to the application of the techniques to polymers, with plenty of illustrations."
