Abstract
(en) Many ¡mportant Chemical and physical characteristics of polymers containing structural heterogeneities (e.g. branching units, co-monomers or functional groups) are strongly dependent on details of the molecular microstructure. Unfortunately, this effect is often compounded with the influence of molecular weight distribution (MWD). It is therefore highly desirable to gain access to the distribution of microstructural features across the MWD instead of relying on one "global" structure Índex. It is even more interesting to obtain sizable amounts of narrow molecular weight fractions since it then becomes possible to test the fractions separately or in combinations and henee clarify the interplay between microstructure, molecular weight and properties.
