The combination of size exclusion chromatography and gradient elution HPLC alows the analytical cross-fractionation of polymers. The author has contributed substantially to the development and promotion of this new fast and powerful analytical technique in polymer science. He provides an in-depth treatment of methodology, instrumentation, and applications. Separate chapters deal with the chemical heterogeneity of copolymers, solubility, adsorption processes, mobile and stationary phases, detection and quantitative evaluations in gradient HPLC of polymers. The text should appeal to all polymer scientists, chromatographers and biochemists in industry and academia.
