Educational series: characterizing crosslinked polymer networks
Characterization of polymer networks presents unique challenges due to the insolubility of the materials, but this also enables characterization by new techniques that take advantage of the bulk network structure.
Polymer characterization by size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS): a tutorial review
We describe the theory and application of SEC-MALS with minimal equations and a focus on synthetic polymer characterization.
