The development of increasingly complex polymers has prompted innovations in analytical and separation technologies for their characterization. Polymeric nanoparticles comprised of biodegradable polymers offer a promising approach for targeted drug delivery. Sustainable polymers help reduce pollution. Polymer-based composites are now used for high-strength applications in automotive, aerospace, medical devices, agriculture, marine, and consumer products. By using the latest analytical technologies, organizations are better positioned to accelerate product innovations, enhance productivity, comply with regulations, and meet corporate sustainability goals.
The Waters and TA Instruments portfolio of polymer analysis solutions enables laboratories to more effectively characterize complex polymers. With systems such as advanced polymer chromatography (APC), ultraperformance convergence chromatography (UPC2), high-resolution mass spectrometry, thermal analyzers, and rheometers, Waters and TA Instruments are helping scientists advance their understanding of the synthesis, architecture, and functional properties of polymers to innovate new and better products.
