As already indicated in Chapter 7, the introduction of laser technology has already had a major impact on light-scattering methods. These have found particular application in the development of new methods of particle sizing, and several instruments are now available commercially which arc designed for the automatic determination of particle size distributions. These methods are being developed steadily, especially in terms of the associated computer software needed for the rapid analysis of experimental data. In particular, while the measurement of the particle size in monodisperse systems is well established, the mathematical analysis for polydisperse systems and for non-spherical particles presents problems which are not yet fully solved. [Pg.205]

The most widely used molecular weight characterization method has been GPC, which separates compounds based on hydrodynamic volume. State-of-the-art GPC instruments are equipped with a concentration detector (e.g., differential refractometer, UV, and/or IR) in combination with viscosity or light scattering. A viscosity detector provides in-line solution viscosity data at each elution volume, which in combination with a concentration measurement can be converted to specific viscosity. Since the polymer concentration at each elution volume is quite dilute, the specific viscosity is considered a reasonable approximation for the dilute solution s intrinsic viscosity. The plot of log[r]]M versus elution volume (where [) ] is the intrinsic viscosity) provides a universal calibration curve from which absolute molecular weights of a variety of polymers can be obtained. Unfortunately, many reported analyses for phenolic oligomers and resins are simply based on polystyrene standards and only provide relative molecular weights instead of absolute numbers. [Pg.385]

Seligson s group (95) has published a similar turbidimetric procedure but used nephelometry to measure continuously the effect of lipase on the light scattering of an olive oil emulsion. The instrumentation and approach is the same as that described above for the nephelometric determination of amylase. The method according to the authors is fast and precise with good specificity and sensitivity. The short time required for analysis makes it suitable for emergency use. The technical simplicity permits this method to be easily automated, and it appears to be the lipase method of choice. [Pg.214]

Branching in the polymer chain affects the relationship between retention and molecular weight.83 Universal calibration has been used with some success in branched polymers, but there are also pitfalls. Viscosimetry84-91 and other instrumental methods have proved to be useful. A computer simulation of the effects of branching on hydrodynamic volume and the detailed effects observable in GPC is available in the literature.92 93 In copolymer analysis, retention may be different for block and random copolymers, so universal calibration may be difficult. However, a UV-VIS detector, followed by a low-angle light-scattering (LALLS) detector and a differential... [Pg.330]

In these sensors, the intrinsic absorption of the analyte is measured directly. No indicator chemistry is involved. Thus, it is more a kind of remote spectroscopy, except that the instrument comes to the sample (rather than the sample to the instrument or cuvette). Numerous geometries have been designed for plain fiber chemical sensors, all kinds of spectroscopies (from IR to mid-IR and visible to the UV from Raman to light scatter, and from fluorescence and phosphorescence intensity to the respective decay times) have been exploited, and more sophisticated methods including evanescent wave spectroscopy and surface plasmon resonance have been applied. [Pg.21]

Light-scattering measurements are of great intrinsic value for studying the starch components, but few measurements have been carried out. Recently, the question of the absolute value of the standards used in tur-bidimetry has been discussed,133 and several new instruments have been described.133 134 It is to be hoped that more use will be made of this method in the future. [Pg.358]
