Presents interlaboratory test results in the fields of thermoanalysis, molar mass determination, and quantitative analysis of the composition of material, presented in tables and graphical charts, discussed in the text, and elaborated by practical examples.
Measurement uncertainty is an important component of modern materials analysis: it indicates the boundaries within which the test results can be trusted. Such results are necessary for understanding of, for example, material and product tolerances and lifetimes, vital for plastic product reliability and safety.

Determination of measurement uncertainty is normally quite laborious, but this book shows how the available interlaboratory test data for plastics can be used to calculate measurement uncertainty much more simply. It contains many interlaboratory test results in the fields of thermoanalysis, molar mass determination, and quantitative analysis of the composition of material, presented in tables and graphical charts, discussed in the text, and elaborated by practical examples.

In addition to the evaluation by means of the presented data (top-down approach), the relationship to the bottom-up approach specified in the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) is explained based on an example. Further sections deal with sampling, and the issue of whether or not the difference between analytical results is significant.

Dr. Bruno Wampfler (retired) was Head of Process and Product Optimization at Empa St. Gallen, Switzerland. He was initiator of the Eureka project "Uncertainty Manager". Dr. Samuel Affolter is Professor for Chemistry and Plastics Technology at the NTB (Interstaatliche Hochschule für Technik, Buchs), Switzerland. He leads the polymer team in the Institute for Micro- and Nanotechnology (MNT), focusing on polymer analysis and functionalized materials. Dr. Axel Ritter is a chemist at Intracosmed AG, Urnäsch, Switzerland, where he is responsible for quality assurance and regulatory issues. Dr. Manfred Schmid is Head of R&D for Additive Manufacturing with Plastics at Inspire icams in St. Gallen, Switzerland. He is also author of the book Laser (LS) Sintering with Plastics, published by Hanser in 2018.
