Abstract
Characterization techniques for polymers have been discussed in literature. Normally these techniques are categorized in terms of mechanical testing methods, thermal analysis, electron and optical microscopy, nmr techniques, chromatographic methods, spectroscopy, scattering and fluorescence techniques. As polymer blends become more popular in research and in application, many new characterization techniques specific for the blends characterization have been developed. Meanwhile, many new approaches which still use traditional measurement techniques but with new analysis methodology are also being developed for polymer blends, whether these blends are miscible or immiscible.
