About the Book

The aim of this book is to familiarise the reader with all aspects of the techniques used in the examination of polymers, covering chemical, physiochemical and purely physical methods of examination. The types of techniques available to the polymer chemist and technician are described, and their capabilities, limitations and applications are discussed. The book is intended, for all staff who are concerned with instrumentation and methodology in the polymer laboratory including laboratory designers, engineers and chemists, and also those concerned with the implementation of analytical specifications and process control limits.

About the Author :
Roy Crompton was Head of the polymer analysis research department of a major international polymer producer for some 15 years. In the early fifties he was heavily engaged in the development of methods of analysis for low-pressure polyolefins produced by the Ziegler-Natta route, including work on high-density polyethylene and polypropylene. He was responsible for the development of methods of analysis of the organoaluminum catalysts used for the synthesis of these polymers. He was also responsible for the development of thin-layer chromatography for the determination of various types of additives in polymers and did pioneering work on the use of TLC to separate polymer additives and to examine the separated additives by infrared and mass spectrometry. He retired in 1988 and has since been engaged as a consultant in the field of analytical chemistry and has written extensively on this subject, with some 20 books published.
