The two volumes "New Developments in Polymer Analytics" deal with
recent progress in the characterization of polymers, mostly in
solution but also at sur faces. Despite the fact that almost all of
the described techniques are getting on in years, the contributions
are expected to meet the readers interest because either the
methods are newly applied to polymers or the instrumentation has
achieved a major breakthrough leading to an enhanced utilization by
polymer scientists. The first volume concentrates on separation
techniques. H. Pasch summarizes the recent successes of multi
dimensional chromatography in the characteriza tion of copolymers.
Both, chain length distribution and the compositional het
erogeneity of copolymers are accessible. Capillary electrophoresis
is widely and successfully utilized for the characterization of
biopolymers, particular of DNA . It is only recently that the
technique has been applied to the characterization of water soluble
synthetic macromolecules. This contribution of Grosche and
Engelhardt focuses on the analysis of polyelectrolytes by capillary
electophore sis. The last contribution of the first volume by
Coelfen and Antonietti summa rizes the achievements and pitfalls of
field flow fractionation techniques .The major drawbacks in the
instrumentation have been overcome in recent years and the "triple
F techniques" are currently advancing to a powerful competitor to
size exclusion chromatography.
