The two volumes "New Developments in Polymer Analytics" deal with
recent progress in the characterization of polymers, mostly in
solution but also at s- 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 utilizaton by
polymer scientists. The first volume concentrates on separation
techniques. H. Pasch summarizes the recent successes of
multi-dimensional chromatography in the characteri- tion of
copolymers. Both, chain length distribution and the compositional
h- 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
contributrion of Grosche and Engelhardt focuses on the analysis of
polyelectrolytes by capillary electopho- sis. The last contribution
of the first volume by Coelfen and Antonietti sum- 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.
