Why should I upgrade to multi-detection GPC?
10 reasons for polymer characterization scientists. Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) is an essential tool for the characterization of polymers. It allows polymer scientists to tailor a polymer’s properties to its end use requirements by controlling its molecular properties, since the two are inextricably linked.

10 reasons for polymer characterization scientists.
Gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) is an essential tool for the characterization of polymers. It allows polymer scientists to tailor a polymer’s properties to its end use requirements by controlling its molecular properties, since the two are inextricably linked. For example, increasing a polymer’s molecular weight can increase its strength but there are many other effects that the molecular properties can have on the bulk ones. Table 1 gives an example of the connections although the real links will be specific to each polymer under study.
