The Characterization and Measurement Group provides standards, reference data, and measurements needed by industry, government agencies, and the scientific and technical communities for synthesis, processing, and use of polymeric materials. Activities include developing new measurement techniques, data analysis algorithms, and theoretical models to support polymer materials characterization, quality control, process development, and performance. The group works closely with the other groups in the Polymers Division by providing technical support for ongoing programs throughout the Division.
