BASIC PRINCIPLES OF LASER DIFFRACTION AND HOW TO SELECT LASER DIFFRACTION PARTICLE SIZE ANALYZER
At its very most basic, laser diffraction is about the relationship between particle size and the angle and intensity of scattered light. Light scatters more intensely and at smaller angles off of large particles than small particles.

ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR POLYMER CHARACTERIZATION
Polymer characterization is important in developing new polymers as well as maintaining quality control in manufacturing processes. As such, many characterization techniques should ideally be linked to the desirable properties of the material, hence analytical techniques are typically used to determine molecular structure, molecular mass / chain length, thermal properties and mechanical properties.
