eaction. The combination <strong>of</strong> SEC <strong>and</strong> NMR techniques is especially useful for<br />

studying the formulation <strong>of</strong> polymer blends <strong>and</strong> the degradation <strong>of</strong> polymers.<br />

However, the high-molecular-weight (M w . 5 10 6 g=mole) acrylamide polymers<br />

are difficult to separate efficiently by the commercially available columns at<br />

the present time. The chromatographic systems, sample preparation, characterization<br />

<strong>of</strong> MW st<strong>and</strong>ards, <strong>and</strong> calibration technique affect SEC MW <strong>and</strong> MWD<br />

determination. Therefore, values obtained for SEC MW <strong>and</strong> MWD should be<br />

interpreted carefully.<br />
