Utilisation de l'ultracentrifugeuse pour la mesure des masses et pour l'etude de la polydispersite des polymeres de synthese

After a review of the two techniques based on sedimentation rate and equilibrium in binary medium, more recent methods involving the presence of a second non-macromolecular solute are described. Application of these methods to synthetic polymers is still rare but of increasing interest. The use of computers simplifies the exploitation of the measurements.
