Audience
This book will be of particular interest to those engaged in polymer research and development and polymer product characterization and
analysis. It will be of 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.
