Description
This review of the characterization of polymer molecules in solutions and in solid state demonstrates the methods available for measurement, and presents an overview of the result, summarizing information at present only available from scattered literature. The book is based on the author's lectures at the Technical University of Budapest, and includes problems and questions arising from his teaching and industrial research experience. The book commences with an introduction to the configurational (structural) chemical build-up of polymers, proceeding to the thermodynamics of polymer solutions and methods of determining molecular-mass and mass distribution, such as osmotic pressure, light scattering, fractionation, and viscosity methods. It reviews the arrangement of polymer molecules in solid phase, and the morphology of polymers at different structural levels, describing the two-phase structure of the crystalline polymers and investigation methods for the study of super-molecular and molecular polymer structures.
There is considerable emphasis on dilatometry, light- and electron microscopy, light scattering, wide and small angle x-ray diffraction, thermoanalysis and ESR and NMR spectroscopy. An entire chapter is devoted to the kinetics of structure building, the nucleation and growing processes and to the mechanism of the build-up of single crystals and spherolites.
