This book will be of particular interest to those engaged in polymer researchand development and polymer product characterization and analysis. It will beof significant value to polymer groups and research institutions within academia, industrial laboratories and third-party contract organisations/laboratories involved in the molecular characterization and analysis of polymers and polymer products.
