GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase: characterization German translation: Charakterisierung Entered by: Steffen Walter

English to German translations [PRO] Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
English term or phrase: characterization Ich habe hier ein Problem mit dem Wort "characterization" bzw. "characterising". Es wird im Zusammenhang mit der Bestimmung der Hydroxylzahl wie folgt gebraucht: Within the scope of ***characterizing*** products and quality testing, the determination of the hydroxyl number is an indispensable step. Working as Research Technician, he gained experience in the ***characterization*** of plastic materials such as the two most common types of polyamides... Das sind die einzigen beiden Sätze, in denen das so gebraucht wird. Mehr erschließt sich mir aus dem weiteren Kontext auch nicht. Daher ist für mich hier einfach nicht ganz klar, ob es um eine Art Analyse geht (im Sinne von analyzing/analysis) oder um eine Art Produktkennzeichnung (im Sinne von labelling). Ich tendiere eher zu Variante Nr. 1, bin mir aber nicht wirklich sicher. Vielleicht übersehe ich hier auch etwas, und im chemischen Kontext besteht noch eine ganz andere Bedeutung, die mir evt. nicht geläufig ist? Vorab vielen Dank für die Hilfe!

Charakterisierung Explanation: Analyse wäre ja die Bestimmung der einzelnen Bestandteile einer Mischung. Hier ist aber die Charakterisierung eines einzelnen Stoffes gemeint. Bei Polymeren sind das eben Merkmale wie Hydroxylzahl, Verzweigungsgrad, mittlere Molmasse u. a.
