Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The distribution of the pendant double bond along the molar mass axis impacts the vulcanization behavior of ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymers. Yet, the analysis of this parameter has so far been hampered by the lack of suitable detection methods. Towards this goal we have investigated the potential of ultraviolet detector (UV) detection for high temperature size exclusion chromatography of EPDM terpolymers containing 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and vinyl norbornene (VNB) as termonomer. The influence of termonomer structure and experimental parameters such as, mobile phase, analyte concentration and temperature on the spectroscopic response was probed. EPDM containing ENB showed a significantly stronger UV-absorption compared to terpolymers with VNB and DCPD. The absorbance was found to correlate with the sample concentration approaching signal saturation at higher ENB content. Generally, temperature did not have any significant effect on the UV absorbance of EPDM. Based on the results, a method was developed, which can profile the content of ENB along the molar mass axis. An evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) was employed to monitor the analyte concentration, in combination with the UV detector, to quantitatively measure the distribution of ENB content along the molar mass distribution. This work could be feasible for the other two commercial relevant termonomers DCPD and VNB.
