Preface
Liquid chromatography is one of the workhorses in the analysis of polymers when it comes to addressing the challenges associated with characterising their complex molecular structure. The gold standard for molar mass determination is size exclusion chromatography (SEC) as it not only provides reliable and accurate information but also has a well-developed theoretical foundation from which to predict and explain the retention behaviour of polymers. However, SEC separates polymers according to their size in solution and not according to their molar mass. The correlation between hydrodynamic size and molar mass is obtained through SEC calibration or the use of molar mass sensitive detectors. SEC also has limitations when it comes to complex or high molar mass samples (such as block copoly
