Polymers
are chainlike macromolecules that are build-up from identical
repetition units: the monomers. In the majority of cases they
consist of a mixture of molecules that differ in their chain
length. This property is often harmful as polymers nowadays
fulfil more and more sophisticated tasks in medicine, cosmetics
and technology. With our patented method, namely the "Continuous
Spin Fractionation", we are able to remove unwanted components
as well as low molecular weight impurities. On the following
pages we inform you about the basics of molecular weight distributions
of polymers, fractionation by means of liquid-liquid phase separation,
and the working principle of the Continuous Spin Fractionation.
