Research Interests

Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry is applied to determination of molecular mass distribution of synthetic polymers. Special emphasis is on electrospray methods of sample preparation to insure homogeneous sampling. Gel permeation chromatography, light scattering and solution viscosity are used to prepare standard reference polymers certified for molecular mass and intrinsic viscosity.
