Specialists of the Institute of High-Molecular Compounds under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have developed and manufactured the prototype of a device for determining the mass of organic compounds and polymers. Unlike the comparable devices that are used today, the brainchild of Ukrainian scientists called Helios-1 is compact, user-friendly and inexpensive.
Its design allows simultaneous measuring of the freezing point of a solution and solvent by means of two probes. A measuring procedure embraces the whole range of low-molecular polymers that are widely used for the technologies of making polymeric products. The accuracy of chemical analyses accounts for ±5% and measuring lasts no more than an hour.
According to experts of the Institute of High-Molecular Compounds, their device is unique and its manufacture can be rapidly organized because the prototype of Helios-1 has already been made and it tested successfully.
