An Up-to-Date Compendium of the Methodologies Used to Examine the Chemical Composition of Polymers.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5fdf8d/characterisation_o) has announced the addition of the "Characterisation of Polymers" report to their offering. This book is intended to be a complete compendium of the types of methodology that have evolved for the determination of the chemical composition of polymers. Volume 1 covers the methodology used for the determination of metals, non-metals and organic functional groups in polymers, and for the determination of the ratio in which different monomer monomer (mŏn`əmər): see polymer. monomer Molecule of any of a class of mostly organic compounds that can react with other molecules of the same or other compounds to form very large molecules (polymers). units occur in copolymers. The techniques available for composition determination of homopolymers and copolymers and other recent modern techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is a quantitative spectroscopic surface chemical analysis technique used to estimate the empirical formula or elemental composition, chemical state and electronic state of the elements on the surface (upto 10 nm) of a material. , atomic force microscopy, microthermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy electron microscopy Technique that allows examination of samples too small to be seen with a light microscope. Electron beams have much smaller wavelengths than visible light and hence higher resolving power. and energy dispersive dispersive /dis·per·sive/ (-per´siv) 1. tending to become dispersed. 2. promoting dispersion. analysis using X-rays are also included.

More detailed aspects, such as sequencing of monomer units in copolymers, end-group analysis, tacticity Tacticity (from Greek 'taktikos': of or relating to arrangement or order) is the relative stereochemistry of adjacent chiral centers within a macromolecule [1]. The practical significance of tacticity rests in the link between tacticity and the physical properties of the and stereochemical determinations, are also dealt with in this subsequent volume. This book gives an up-to-date and thorough exposition of the state-of-the-art theories and availability of instrumentation needed to effect chemical and physical analysis of polymers. This is supported by approximately 1200 references. The book should be of great interest to all those engaged in the subject in industry, university research. Key Topics Covered: - Determination of Metals - Determination of Non-metallic Elements - Sulfur - Phosphorus - Nitrogen - Spectrophotometric Method - Determination of Functional Groups in Polymers - Carboxyl Groups - Carbonyl Groups carbonyl group (kär`bənĭl), in chemistry, functional group that consists of an oxygen atom joined by a double bond to a carbon atom. The carbon atom is joined to the remainder of the molecule by two single bonds or one double bond. - Ester Groups - Alkoxy Groups - Oxyalkylene Groups - Anhydride anhydride (ănhī`drīd, –drĭd) [Gr.,=without water], chemical compound formed by removing water, H2O, from another compound; the anhydride can also react with water to form the original compound. Groups - Monomer Ratios in Copolymers - Analysis of Homopolymers - Analysis of Copolymers - X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy - Atomic Force Microscopy and Microthermal Analysis - Multiple Technique Polymer Studies - Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive Analysis Using X-rays For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5fdf8d/characterisation_o |
