Copolymer levels in polymer pellets – nondestructive determination in less than 30 seconds

7/15/2014

Thermal polymers are typically supplied in the form of chips or pellets. Some of the very properties desired for the polymers such as strength, solvent resistance, acids, etc. make analysis of these materials a challenge. Typical methods of analysis require dissolution of the pellets, which can take from several hours to more than a day depending on the material.
