Methods of studying polymer degradation

There is a different method of study polymer degradation.

-Morphological changes(Swelling, deformation, bubbling, disappearance )

- Weight Loss

- Thermal Method

     Differential scanning calorimetry  

- Molecular weight Changes

      Dilute solution viscosity

      Size exclusion chromatography

      Gel permeation chromatography

      Mass spectroscopy

-Change in chemistry

    Infrared spectroscopy (IR)

    Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)
