Tremendous variation from batch to batch, lab to lab, route to route<br />

Chemical properties generally similar due to similarities in types <strong>of</strong> “chemical<br />

structures”<br />

Physical properties markedly different due to differences in “polymer structures”<br />

MW & MW distribution<br />

Crosslinking type <strong>and</strong> density<br />
