This text deals with the key physical techniques that determine the characteristics that lead to the vast range of properties associated with polymers and polymer-based materials. It provides an introduction to the physical principles behind the techniques, without becoming deeply theoretical. Topics covered include molecular weight determination, molecular and structural characterization by spectroscopic techniques, morphology and structural characterization by microscopy, and thermal analysis. Although the text is aimed primarily at the undergraduate level, it will also be of value to industrial scientists and technologists who require details of polymer characterization and its techniques.
