For copolymers and blends, an understanding of the chemical composition is at least as important as the determination of molecular mass distribution. No single technique is likely to provide the information required. Analytical techniques closely related to GPC and others which use alternative separation processes are presented by international experts in their fields in a series of nine papers.

Nine papers are included on: Column Chromatography, GPC/FTIR, LC-Transform, Gradient Polymer Elution Chromatography, Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation, Laser Light Scattering.
