Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for analyzing a solution of a crystalline or a semi-crystalline polymer sample to determine a crystallinity versus weight percent profile concurrently with viscosity average molecular weight. The polymer sample is first precipitated from solution over a cooling temperature gradient to produce a precipitated polymer sample, which is precipitated as a function of its crystallinity. The precipitated polymer sample is then eluted and redissolved over a heating temperature gradient to produce successive fractions of a fractionated polymer sample solution, which are measured to produce concentration and specific viscosity data from which the intrinsic viscosity and viscosity average molecular weight are calculated.
