What are Polyolefin Polymers? Polyolefins are macromolecules formed by the polymerization of olefin monomer units. The IUPAC nomenclature term for polyolefins is poly(alkene). The most common polyolefins are polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). These polymers are prevalent in a wide…READ MORE >

Here is an example chromatogram of polypropylene (or sometimes abbreviated as PP), a member of the polyolefins. The run conditions and some results are detailed in the table below. This sample of moderate molecular weight polypropylene is analysed on the…READ MORE >

Hi, Malcolm here. With another birthday just gone I thought it would be fun to find out if I share my important day with any famous people. I was amused to find that, aside from children’s author Beatrix Potter and…READ MORE >

One of our chromatography applications experts, Wei Sen Wong, is looking forward to presenting the practicalities of high temperature gel permeation chromatography (HT-GPC) at this week’s Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Joint International Polyolefins/FlexPack Conference. Held in Houston, Texas, February…READ MORE >

Wheras a low solubility is an advantage for most applications of polymers,  it can be a problem when you want to analyze them. Used for products ranging from cling film, drinking straws, carrier bags and food packaging, to crates, boxes, and bottles, we routinely…READ MORE >
