Research Polymer in solution measurement

I'm looking for types of analysis that can determine the % of polymer in a solvent solution. Anyone work in polymer industry that can help? Preferably continuous measurement but if samples need to be taken for lab analysis so be it

Depending on the solution, a coriollis meter might work.  We used one to monitor control/cement concentration.

Then if you’re stripping with steam, use FTNIR to control moisture. (After your drying).

Both require work to set up and maintain correlations.
