This volume is comprised of 16 papers originally presented at the First International Conference
on Polyolefin Characterization (ICPC), held in Houston, TX in October 2006. It offers an
excellent overview of recent advances in polyolefin characterization, spanning such fields as separation
and fractionation, high throughput, thermal and crystallinity analysis, spectroscopy, and rheology.
From the Preface: “The final properties and applications of polyolefins are determined by their
microstructures. This statement can be made for any polymer, but it is even more relevant for
polyolefins since they are composed of such simple building blocks...The increasing sophistication of
catalyst systems and polymerization processes can only be fully realized in practice if efficient and easy to
use polyolefin characterization techniques are available...ICPC was organized to fill this important
industrial and academic need, providing a discussion forum on the characterization and
fractionation techniques of polyolefins...”
Target Audience: Scientists and researchers in academia or industry who are concerned with
the characterization of polyolefins.
