The second most common SEC detector is aUV detector, which is very<br />

useful for polymers with UV-absorbing chromophores on their backbone. The<br />

SEC signal using this detector may also have achain end effect if the end group<br />

absorbs in the UV more strongly than the functional group on the backbone. The<br />

chain end effect will be more pronounced in the SEC <strong>of</strong> low MWoligomers than<br />

for high MW polymers as shown in Fig. 8, in which the UVintensity is relatively<br />

higher at the lower MW area than the RI. The UV detector also shows several<br />

peaks <strong>of</strong> polymer additives, but not the RI detector.<br />
