A high throughput method to determine an amount of a comonomer in a
copolymer sample of a copolymer system comprises the steps of providing a
plurality of copolymer samples; creating an array of the copolymer
samples; measuring a sample complex modulus of each of the copolymer
samples at a comparison phase angle; and determining the amount of a
comonomer in the copolymer sample by comparing the sample complex modulus
to a calibration curve, wherein the calibration curve relates a
concentration of the comonomer in the copolymer sample to a complex
moduli of the copolymer sample determined at the comparison phase angle.
A method of determining the amount of a comonomer in both a single
copolymer sample, and in a high throughput scheme using the crossover
modulus is also disclosed.
